Attaching a Policy to a VM

Firewall policies are enforced only when attached to a resource.

Attach from a VM

1. Open the VM detail page
2. Go to the Firewall tab
3. Select a policy from the Attach policy dropdown
4. Click Attach

The policy's allow rules are immediately enforced on that VM. The Attached resources count on the policy increments.

warning

Attaching a policy replaces all previously open ports with only what the policy allows. Make sure port 22 is included in your allow rules before attaching, or you will lose SSH (rumpty ssh) access.

Detach a policy

From the VM's Firewall tab, click Detach next to the active policy. Traffic reverts to the workspace default.
