Visual Studio and Azure Services access behind a firewall

There is an article by Microsoft that lists all the URLs that Visual Studio requires to install or interaction with Azure services if you was behind a firewall or proxy. Obviously you don't have to allow everything through but you can see what you need to allow through if there was something specifically needed. I know after the pandemic most people are working from home and have a direct access to the internet but there are environments where access are still very control behind firewalls. This document provides the URLs, the ports it uses and a brief explanation about why it is needed which is always useful when you are speaking to your security team on why you need to punch another hole through the firewall.
