By default following rules are configured by us during automatic provisioning.
We give you complete access to you to configure and manage the firewall by yourself. The remaining section of the documentation will help you to learn more on firewall administration.

Click on the "Manage Firewall" option.You will get the following on the right pane. Identify the rules with name "RDP" and "SSH". If you have windows instance , enable the RDP rule as shown in the below diagram. Likewise you need to enable it for the linux instance.
