Security Group

A security group is a virtual firewall that controls the incoming and outgoing traffic for instances or resources within a network.

`Security Group Update`

The current Security Group has been set to the default configuration, including the default rules.

If you want to add a custom Security Group, follow these steps:

Security Groups > Add Security Group

Before adding a security group, you must first create security groups.

To create a security group, follow these steps:

Here is how to set rules and apply security in VMS.
Now we can see below >

Add Rule > Protocol > Description > Direction > Open Port > Remote ->

In the "Add Rule" section, you can see multiple options.

Custom Protocol - A custom protocol is a specific set of rules and conventions created for communication between devices or systems.
Description: We can provide descriptions according to ad rules.
Direction (Network Traffic Types) - There are two types of Network Traffic

1. Ingress: This term is used to describe incoming traffic or data entering into a network system, such as through a router or a network interface. It represents all the data that is being received by the system.

2. Egress: In contrast, egress denotes all outgoing traffic or data that is leaving a network system. This happens when data is transmitted from a system through a router or a network interface to an external destination.

Port Configuration: Please specify the port number and the type of port that needs to be allowed.
Protocol - Give Protocol -- TCP/ UDP
Remote- Select CIDR
CIDR - CIDR is like a pizza cutter for the internet, making sure everyone gets the perfect slice of IP address!

Add Rules: - *
Allowed Protocol Types: 1. All Protocol 2. Custom Protocol
Now you can choose which type of protocol to use.

Allow Both ingress and EgreSS:- Which type of traffic would you allow?
In these steps first allow Ingress and again allow Egress:-

Here we can select only one, if you are open to only a specific Port so select "Port" otherwise select "Port Range" and "All ports" Options.

In this step, which type of port would you like to use?

Custom Port
Port Range
All Ports

In the Protocol option give the protocol name (TCP/UDP) but make sure you open the port and protocol only one by one: -

Select the CIDR:-

Give the CIDR:- 0.0.0.0/0

Click the "Add rule":-

After completing the steps mentioned above, proceed by adding each Ingress and Egress one at a time. Continue this process as needed.
After adding the rule, navigate to Networking > Security Group. Select your rule to view more information about the rule that was added.
