The office can't reach the HR app
Nobody in the office can open the HR app.

- Keep UFW running on vm-hrbroken
Background
"Since HR moved their app to Azure last week, nobody in the office can open it." The app runs on vm-hr in Spoke 1, on 443. The office reaches Azure over the hub's VPN gateway, and srv-onprem is an office server you can test from. HR's admin says the app is running. SSH from the office stays blocked, and UFW on vm-hr stays on.

Opens a shell on srv-onprem, so the next commands run on that VM. In this lab it's a shortcut. In real Azure you'd connect through something like Azure Bastion, or SSH to an address you can reach.

netcat, a standard Linux tool. Tries to open a TCP connection and reports whether it worked.
