Linux virtual desktop won't connect over SSH

[lz7cjc]

Hi

I successfully set up a linux VM and connected over SSH and then installed a GUI and RDC software. However when I tried to run the RDC it asked for username and password (which i didn’t know)

So I then tried to connect again using SSH and it failed to work giving this error:

We are unable to connect to the VM on port 22.

Please ensure that VM has a firewall rule that allows TCP ingress traffic from the IP range 0.0.0.0/0, port: 22.
In case you prefer to allow SSH connections for the narrower IP range, please consider using Identity-Aware-Proxy (IAP).
I checked and it looks like it does have this rule:

default-allow-http

Ingress

http-server

IP ranges: 0.0.0.0/0

tcp:80

Allow

1000

default

Off

I also tried to connect via Serial Console and that failed as well

Any ideas on how i can resolve would be gratefully received

thanks

Hello @lz7cjc ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Those roles are applied based on “network tags” or all “instances within the network”?

If tag-based, be sure that your VM have corresponding tags for IAP and SSH.
