Since the instance group requires health check metrics, please ensure that health check IPs for GCP i.e. 130.211.0.0/22, 35.191.0.0/16 are allowed on port TCP port 8000 for the VM instances.
Ensure that internal calls are allowed between created VMs.
Open the ports carrying the mirrored traffic on the VMs in the akto-instance-group. Generally traffic is carried on TCP port 80.
If you're accessing akto-dashboard from a public network, allow http traffic on it.
