How to configure my Azure VM Endpoint ACL to allow connection from my Azure Webjob on the same portal

Solution
I need the same thing but it seems as though is not possible right now. Looking at this answer on a related question:
Azure Web Sites do not have dedicated outbound IP addresses for each deployment. This precludes you from using ACLs or Virtual Networks to connect to your Redis / Solr virtual machines.
So even though you can have a (reasonably) fixed incoming IP address on Azure Websites, the outgoing address is highly unpredictable and as far as I can see, the only exclusion that you could make was to restrict it to the entire range of IP addresses for that data centre which is far from ideal.
Problem
I have a WebJob on an Azure Website that needs to connect to a VM Endpoint to make REST calls. My Endpoint is configured to deny all except my company's IP range. Now what rule would I need to add or url should I use so my webjob can connect to the endpoint? I have tried the following without success: - Allow my website virtual IP address in the ACL - Connect to the endpoint using the internal IP instead of the DNS without changing the ACL - Connect to the endpoint using the public virtual IP instead of the DNS without changing the ACL This works but is not what I am looking for: - Remove the current ACL and allow all - Keep the ACL but add a /16 rule with my website IP Thank you for your help, and let me know if you need precision!
