 Agents can only be used to download extension packages and reporting status. For example, if an extension installation needs to download a script from GitHub (Custom Script extension) or needs access to Azure Storage (Azure Backup), then you need to open additional firewall or network security group (NSG) ports. Different extensions have different requirements, because they're applications in their own right. For extensions that require access to Azure Storage or Azure Active Directory, you can allow access by using Azure NSG [service tags](../../virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview.md#service-tags).
