Description
If RDP is open to the internet, attackers can attempt to gain access to VM instances. Removing unfettered connectivity to remote console services, such as RDP, reduces a server's exposure to risk.
How to fix?
Set source_ranges attribute to specific IP address range, for example 192.168.0.0/24.
Example Configuration
resource "google_compute_firewall" "allowed" {
name = "test-firewall"
network = google_compute_network.default.name
allow {
protocol = "tcp"
ports = ["3389"]
}
source_ranges = ["192.168.0.0/24"]
}
