Adding Deny Rule In The NSG

Add a new rule of priority 290. So, if the user tries to access port 80 (i.e., accessing the IIS home page using a browser) then the rule of the NSG will be scanned from top to bottom.

Once a rule is matched, then the rest of the rules will be ignored. So, if the user tries to access port 80 then he will be denied because of a rule with priority 290.
