Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows Server as the example operating system for the test VM, and all testing instructions (such as remote desktop and browser usage) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents provided for VM creation, connectivity, or firewall rule testing, which may hinder non-Windows users from following the tutorial seamlessly.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for deploying a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu) in the test subnet, including required settings.
  • Provide guidance for connecting to a Linux VM (using SSH instead of RDP) and testing outbound connectivity (e.g., using curl or wget to test application rules, dig/nslookup for DNS rules).
  • Explicitly mention that the firewall configuration applies to any OS and clarify which steps are OS-specific.
  • Include screenshots or command-line examples for Linux/macOS users where appropriate.
  • Reorder or parallelize example sections so that Windows and Linux instructions are presented together, rather than Windows-only or Windows-first.
