I have visual stuido enterprise 2015 and am using VSTS to load test staaging and production sites which are on the internet. I believe the only way to load test was using VSTS in the cloud. This prevents me for load testing a dev site behind a firewall. Is there a way to do this? I finally got my visual studio load testing based on another ticket here: Stack Overflow Answer

  • If it's a staging site you're load testing, how about disabling the firewall and only allowing access from your IP Address? If it's a production site you're testing, well, don't do that. Bad idea. – Austin Winstanley Dec 16 '17 at 06:07

You can do it when creating your own load agents with fixed up address and whitelist these. I remember that you could send a request to the VSTS team with your account and they would give you an ip address for the load test. See this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2015/03/09/load-testing-applications-behind-firewall-using-trusted-ip/
