When browsing to a WCF endpoint hosted in an Azure web role you normally get back a web page for the service showing the location of the individual node / web role that is serving up your request (seen blurred out here) instead of the actual endpoint.

This isn’t great as you don’t want everyone knowing about your internal system and especially the URL of one of your web roles, with which they could do who know what.

This can easily be fixed with this patch for WCF that will now show the expected endpoint. This endpoint is actually the address of the load balancer that will then forward your request to an web role.

Once the patch is download and installed you can then simply add the following xml snippet into your behaviour for the WCF service:

With this snippet added into your web.config you can browse back to the previous service and will now see that the correct URL is displayed for your service.
