In this tutorial, you created a VM and diagnosed network routing from the VM. You learned that Azure creates several default routes and tested routing to two different destinations. Learn more about [routing in Azure](../virtual-network/virtual-networks-udr-overview.md?toc=%2fazure%2fnetwork-watcher%2ftoc.json) and how to [create custom routes](../virtual-network/manage-route-table.md?toc=%2fazure%2fnetwork-watcher%2ftoc.json#create-a-route).

For outbound VM connections, you can also determine the latency, allowed and denied network traffic between the VM and an endpoint, and the route used to an endpoint, using Network Watcher's [connection troubleshoot](network-watcher-connectivity-portal.md) capability. Learn how you can monitor communication between a VM and an endpoint, such as an IP address or URL, over time using the Network Watcher connection monitor capability.
