We've been using SQL Azure for about a year now. In order to directly access the server outside of Azure you need to add a firewall rule in SQL Azure. That's good.
The old portal had a way to do this and it was easy enough even if it was icky Silverlight.
However, as far as I can tell, the old Silverlight portal is retired. And the new portal does NOT have a way to manage firewall rules. Am I missing something?
Microsoft still says you can access the "current portal" here, but clicking it takes you to the new one: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/features/portals/

In the new portal, click on:
- SQL Databases
- In the datagrid under the SERVER column, click your server name.
- Click the Configure tab on the top.
On new Azure Portal you can :
- "All resources"
- Search your database by name
- Select your database
- "Tools"
- "Open In Visual Studio"
- "Configure your firewall"
- "Add client IP"
Now is available a new button :
