    You just want to manage the VM? Or is any service running on the VM is published with a public IP?
    For management you have the following options for example:

    • Use a VPN PointToSite connection to the virtual network and don't use a public IP on the VM
    • Use Azure Bastion and don't use a public IP on the VM

    Maybe this is helpful.

    Thanks for reply @Andreas Baumgarten . I have hosted two websites on azure vm IIS server. I have currently used public IP for maintaining my azure vm websites. As you suggested, If I use private IP instead of public IP will it any how effect my websites.

    If you want to publish websites running on IIS in a Azure VM than the Azure Web Application Firewall might be your friend.
