facing issues while accessing my hosted IIS application from outside

Hi @Sandeep , Thanks for sharing your details.

The issue could be external traffic being blocked before it even gets to IIS. There are a couple of things you could check first:

1. Open port 80 in your Azure NSG

Go to Azure portal → your VM → Network settings → Add inbound port rule, and make sure it's set to allow port 80 with source port range as *. That's the most common fix for this exact scenario. You can check here for better details:

2. Check your IIS site binding

In IIS Manager, open your site's Bindings and make sure the IP address is set to All Unassigned. If it's bound to a specific IP like 127.0.0.1, external requests won't be picked up even after the NSG is open.

3. Allow port 80 in Windows Firewall on the VM

Even with the NSG open, the Windows Firewall inside the VM can still block traffic. RDP into your server. I recommend checking this article for better instructions:
