I have a CentOS 7 VM on Azure and having serious troubles to make it reachable from Internet.

Meanwhile it looks to be perfectly reachable by internal network:

[root@localhost bin]# telnet 192.168.200.128 8080
Trying 192.168.200.128...
Connected to 192.168.200.128.
Escape character is '^]'.

But i cannot reach it from internet by public IP:

> telnet x.x.x.x 8080
Connessione a x.x.x.x...Impossibile aprire una connessione con l'host. sulla porta 8080: Connessione non riuscita

(public IP removed for security purpose)

The port 8080 is correctly open on Azure NSG:

Priority
Name
Port
Protocol
Source
Destination
Action
350
Tomcat
8080
TCP
Any
Any
Allow

The port 8080 is correctly open and listening by Tomcat on VM:

[root@localhost ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8005          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      14987/java

Firwall on VM is disabled :

[root@localhost ~]# service firewalld status

I really have no idea what I'm missing here... This is my server.xml :

Any help would be really appreciated!

Note that NGINX on port 80 is working perfectly also from internet!

I tried to reproduce the same in my environment I got the same error to make reachable Internet as port 8080.

enter image description here

To resolve this issue:

First, I have installed default Java development and runtime in CentOS 7.

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

And try to download a Tomcat bin file. I have downloaded apache-tomcat-9.0.68.tar.gz file in my directory like below.

enter image description here

When download is completed, try using this command to extract the tar file.

tar -xf apache-tomcat-9.0.68.tar.gz

And move the source file to the /opt/tomcat directory.

sudo mv apache-tomcat-9.0.68 /opt/tomcat/

Try following below script:

sudo mv apache-tomcat-9.0.27 /opt/tomcat/
sudo ln -s /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.27 /opt/tomcat/latest
sudo chown -R tomcat: /opt/tomcat
sudo sh -c 'chmod +x /opt/tomcat/latest/bin/*.sh'

enter image description here

I used Sudo vi for text editor create a tomcat.service unit file and pasted from document content.

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service

Try to start the tomcat:

enter image description here

Finally, when I try to run the firewall to access the tomcat interface from the outside of the local network it's works successfully.

enter image description here

Result:

Check whether you have added port 8080 in your vm as below:

In your virtual machine -> networking ->add inbound port rule -> add port 8080 like below.
