Connected Machine agent network requirements
This topic describes the networking requirements for using the Connected Machine agent to onboard a physical server or virtual machine to Azure Arc-enabled servers.
Networking configuration
The Azure Connected Machine agent for Linux and Windows communicates outbound securely to Azure Arc over TCP port 443. By default, the agent uses the default route to the internet to reach Azure services. You can optionally configure the agent to use a proxy server if your network requires it. Proxy servers don't make the Connected Machine agent more secure because the traffic is already encrypted.
To further secure your network connectivity to Azure Arc, instead of using public networks and proxy servers, you can implement an Azure Arc Private Link Scope .
Note
Azure Arc-enabled servers does not support using a Log Analytics gateway as a proxy for the Connected Machine agent.
If outbound connectivity is restricted by your firewall or proxy server, make sure the URLs and Service Tags listed below are not blocked.
Service tags
Be sure to allow access to the following Service Tags:
- AzureActiveDirectory
- AzureTrafficManager
- AzureResourceManager
- AzureArcInfrastructure
- Storage
- WindowsAdminCenter (if using Windows Admin Center to manage Arc-enabled servers)
For a list of IP addresses for each service tag/region, see the JSON file Azure IP Ranges and Service Tags – Public Cloud. Microsoft publishes weekly updates containing each Azure Service and the IP ranges it uses. This information in the JSON file is the current point-in-time list of the IP ranges that correspond to each service tag. The IP addresses are subject to change. If IP address ranges are required for your firewall configuration, then the AzureCloud Service Tag should be used to allow access to all Azure services. Do not disable security monitoring or inspection of these URLs, allow them as you would other Internet traffic.
For more information, see Virtual network service tags.
URLs
The table below lists the URLs that must be available in order to install and use the Connected Machine agent.

*.blob.core.windows.net |
Download source for Azure Arc-enabled servers extensions | Always, except when using private endpoints | Not used when private link is configured |
dc.services.visualstudio.com |
Agent telemetry | Optional | Public |
Note
To translate the *.servicebus.windows.net wildcard into specific endpoints, use the command \GET /urls/allowlist?api-version=2020-01-01&location=<location>. Within this command, the region must be specified for the placeholder.
Transport Layer Security 1.2 protocol
To ensure the security of data in transit to Azure, we strongly encourage you to configure machine to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2. Older versions of TLS/Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) have been found to be vulnerable and while they still currently work to allow backwards compatibility, they are not recommended.
| Platform/Language | Support | More Information |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | Linux distributions tend to rely on OpenSSL for TLS 1.2 support. | Check the OpenSSL Changelog to confirm your version of OpenSSL is supported. |
| Windows Server 2012 R2 and higher | Supported, and enabled by default. | To confirm that you are still using the default settings. |
