Windows Azure Virtual Machine - Opening a port
this has changed to this
I would recommend ignoring 100% of what is on google at the moment
Irina, make sure you have configured your endpoint properly by setting the private and public port. Here's a documentation that explains the steps to accomplish this...

It's easy via Azure CLI, for example , open port 80
$ az vm open-port -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVm --port 80
Open multiple ports at the same time
az vm open-port -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVm --port 80-100 --priority 100
Open all..
az vm open-port -g MyResourceGroup -n MyVm --port '*'
Pay special attention to this parameter,Must be unique for each rule
--priority : Rule priority, between 100 (highest priority) and 4096 (lowest priority). Must be unique for each rule in the collection. Default: 900.
