Or, pay for a static IP from your provider. I'm with PlusNet and they charged me a one-off fee of a fiver to have a fixed IP for the length of the contract. Best internet provider out there IMO.

Azure network security groups won't allow use of DNS names.
So your choices are:
1) A firewall appliance that does allow DNS names. I'm not sure if any on the marketplace do that and they're costly as they usually need a D2 VM as a minimum to run.
2) VPN
3) Is strong authentication not suitable? Maybe set it to lockout for an hour after 5 failed attempts
4) A Linux VM running as a firewall as you can get quite funky with that and won't need a D2 VM.

You could do it with the firewalls available on the marketplace. But not sure there is quite the business case for the cost.
The cisco ASA-v would do this for example.

I think this will have to be the solution I use

They assign you a DNS name entry against the initial IP you give them and run a client on the machine you need access for that automatically detects IP changes and update the DNS in real time.
Originally posted by ctm View PostWe have some sub contractors in a similiar boat connecting to multiple differernt azure subscriptions. (Infact when we had it opened, there was a large number of brute force connections against servers with public IPs)
The way we got around it was to setup a Point to Site VPN and they connect in to where they are required. We then lock down the environments to only local IPs.
