It might sound complicated to allow internet access through Azure Firewall, but our step by step guide below will get you through it without skipping a beat.
How to I allow internet traffic through Azure Firewall?
1. Create an Azure Firewall
In case you already have an Azure Firewall, skip this step.
2. Create a Firewall Subnet and add a Route
3. Create a Network rule in Azure Firewall
4. Verify the configuration
Finally, it’s time to verify the configuration you just set up. For that, double check if the route table is correctly associated with the subnet.
Check that the network rule is active and correctly configured in the Azure Firewall. Test the outbound traffic from a VM in the subnet to ensure it routes through the firewall.
This setup will route all outbound traffic from the specified subnet through the Azure Firewall, allowing all outbound traffic as per the configured rules.
