Windows Azure RDP Port Forwarding not working

Question

I am frustrated. And struggling. I have created a service AsifPsCS and then two Vms under it. AsifPsVm1 and AsifPsVm2. The RDP only works if I make In and out ports the same to

Answer 1

Remember that your two VMs basically share the same public IP address. Create two rules, one for each vm. Rule 1: Public 3399, Private 3389 (target vm1) Rule 2: Public 3398, private 3389 (target vm2)

This should enable you to access both vms on custom ports. I don't get the "outbound" port part of our question, azure vms are by default all open on outbound traffic.
