Hi all

I don't know this is the right place to ask this question.

Recently one of my friends shared a piece of information that MS Corp IP address (13.107.4.50) is connected with their organization. After googling, it found out that those are Microsoft Azure IP, but the ISP is Microsoft Corporation.

Why are so many connections generating from that IP? If it is blocked, will there be a problem?

Please guide.

Thanks in advance.

    @Mohammad Imtiaz Kabir , Windows VMs usually communicate with that address to download the latest updates. Blocking/whitelisting that IP address lacks future upgradation of VMs. Also, you need to turn of check for updates option on all VM's to avoid this issue.
