Azure LB in front of a Private VNet

Question

I have a private VNet which is peered with the company network (we have the Route table and the virtual network gateway), now what I want to do is connect an LB to an existing VM in this network which has private and public IP already. The external LB should work as entry point from internet to the Private Network.

Now I've set up the LB with the probe, the Load Balancer rule and the Backend pool as per documentation. I've also tried to use both Basic and Standard sku. Also the Network Security Group allows all the ports I need but still I can't connect.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

A load balancer can either be external (with a public IP) or internal (VNET integrated).

However, you can just create two LBs - one external and one internal - that both point to the VM.
