Azure Standard Internal Load Balancer backend machines partial internet access

Whenever i'm adding a VM(Windows/Linux) to the backend pool of a Standard(not basic) Internal load balancer, the VM loses internet access(outbound) to all the internet sites(example: www.google.co.in) except Microsoft sites(bing.com).

Things i have tried: 1. Created Health probe and load balancing rules to verify the load balancing is happening - and yes the load balancing works but no internet access 2. DisableOutboundSNAT on the Rule - load balancing works but no internet access 3. Created NSG to allow all outbound traffic (which is enabled by default) - no luck

Finally this issue is resolved. This is by design as mentioned on here:

So for a conclusion, if we want to access internet from the VM behind a Standard ILB, we need to associate a Public IP to the VM. ( I tested it and it worked).

Also, this seems a very good design as VM is completely private(no outbound implicitly) when it is behind a Standard Load Balancer.

Thanks to Micah for resolving this on this post.
