Help! - How is VNet traffic reaching vWAN/on‑prem when the VNet isn’t connected to the vWAN hub
Hello, I needed some clarity on how the following is working: Attached is a network diagram of our current setup. The function apps (in VNet-1) initiate a connection(s) to a specific IP:Port or FQDN:Port in the on-premises network(s). A Private DNS zone ensures that any FQDN is resolved to the correct internal IP address of the on-prem endpoint. In our setup, both the function app and the external firewall reside in the same VNet. This firewall is described as “Unattached” because it is not the built-in firewall of a secured vWAN hub, but rather an independent Azure Firewall deployed in that VNet. The VNet has a user-defined default route (0.0.0.0/0) directing all outbound traffic to the firewall’s IP. The firewall then filters the traffic, allowing only traffic destined to whitelisted on-premises IP: Port or FQDN: Port combinations (using IP Groups), and blocking everything else. The critical question and the part that I am unable to figure out is: Once the firewall permits a packet, how does Azure know to route it to the vWAN hub and on to the site-to-site VPN? Because VNet-1 truly has no connection at all to the vWAN hub (no direct attachment, no peering, no VPN from the NVA). But the traffic is still reaching the on-prem sites. Unable to figure out how this is happening. Am I missing something obvious? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
Help ! - Hub Spoke Architecture and Routing via NVA
I have a classic example of routing. I want to force all traffic via Fortigate firewalls. EastWest and NorthSouth. However when large Supernet of Azure Vnet is used to route and force the traffic via UDR at gateway subnet, its not working. Because Routes learned at Hub Vnet via Vnet peering is taking precedence. To isolate, i have created multiple small subnet routes for Gateway subnet. Each pointing to spoke vnet and next hop as Fortigate firewall. However this is working, i want to make solution solid. Means if someone creates new vnet in future and peer with Hub, it should not get direct traffic. Is that possible? Or this is typical shortcoming of Azure where routing works with preference to vnet peeering.? Below is architecture -docker - Azure Container Instance - how to make my container accesable and recognized from outside?
I have windows container which should access to external VM database (that is not in container, lets say VM1) so I would define for them l2bridge network driver in order to use the same Virtual Network. docker network create -d "l2bridge" --subnet 10.244.0.0/24 --gateway 10.244.0.1 -o com.docker.network.windowsshim.vlanid=7 -o com.docker.network.windowsshim.dnsservers="10.244.0.7" my_transparent So I suppose we need to stick on this definitely. But now as well I need to make my container accessible from outside, on port 9000, from other containers as well as from other VMs. I suppose this has to be done based on its name (host name) since IP will be changed after the each restart. How I should make my container accessible from some other VM2 virtual machine - Should I do any modifications within the network configuration? Or I just to make sure they are both using the same DNS server? Of course I will do the expose of the port, but should I do any kind of additional network configuration in order to allow traffic on that specific port? I've read that by default network traffic is not allowed and that Windows may block some thing. I will appreciate help on this. Thanks
IKEv2 and Windows 10/11 drops connectivity but stays connected in Windows
I’ve seen this with 2 different customers using IKEv2 User VPNs (virtual wan) and Point to Site gateways in hub and spoke whereby using the VPN in a Always On configuration (device and user tunnel) that after a specific amount of time (56 minutes) the IKEv2 connection will drop the tunnel but stay connected in Windows. To restore the connection, you just reconnect. has anyone else had a similar experience? I’ve seen the issue with ExpressRoute and with/without Azure firewalls in the topology too.

Hello. My application contains one office-js addin (typescript) project + one Webapi core (c#) project, both communicating through a fetch function when cors is enabled.It works together properly on my local computer. I published : - the webapi on azure api management (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-rest-api). Test gaves a 200 OK. - the Office addin on azure. It works properly (as long the fetch function is not involved). However when used, fetch function raises errors (message = "failed to fetch").The issue may be about proper ssl certificates as described in : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/requirements-for-running-office-add-ins. Is it a possible solution ? I tried with self signed certificate with no success so far. Is there any tutorial explaining how to implement it ? Any help would be appreciated
Networking out Private VNET in AZURE with a third party app such as payment gateway?
I need to do networking so that my VNET in Azure connects to third party applications such as payment gateways or messaging apps which are in Public internet. Please let me know the options and why we should prefer one over the other?Spoke-Hub-Hub Traffic with VPN Gateway BGP and Firewall Issue
Hello, I’m facing a situation where I’m trying to have Azure Firewall Inspection on the VPN Gateway VNET-VNET Connectivity. It seems to work if I go from SpokeA-HubAFirewall-HubAVPN—HubBVPN-SpokeB but if I try to go from SpokeA-HubAFirewall-HubAVPN-HubBVM or Inbound Resolver it fails to route correctly according to Connectivity Troubleshooter it stops at HubAVPN with Local Error: RouteMissing but then reaches destination health so makes me believe it’s getting there but not following the route I want it to take which might be causing routing issues. What Am I missing here? This connectivity was working before introducing the Azure Firewall for Inspection with the UDR. Is what I’m trying to accomplish not possible? I’ve tried different types of UDR rules on the Gateway Subnet, and this is my most recent configuration. The reason I’m trying to accomplish this is because I’m seeing a similar error in our Hub-Spoke Hybrid environment and I’m trying to replicate the issue. Current Configuration 2x Hubs with Spoke networks attached so example Hub-Spoke-A Configuration: Hub-A Contains following subnets and Resources VPN Gateway - GateWaySubnet Azure Firewall - AzureFirewallSubnet Inbound Private Resolver - PrivateResolverSubnet Virtual Machine – VM Subnet Gateway Subnet has an attached UDR with the following routes Propagation - True Prefix Destination – Hub-B Next Hop Type – Virtual Appliance Next Hope IP – Hub-A Firewall Prefix Destination – Spoke-B Next Hop Type – Virtual Appliance Next Hope IP – Hub-A Firewall Hub-Spoke-B Configuration: Hub-B Contains following subnets and Resources VPN Gateway - GateWaySubnet Azure Firewall - AzureFirewallSubnet Inbound Private Resolver - PrivateResolverSubnet Virtual Machine – VM Subnet Gateway Subnet has an attached UDR with the following Routes Propagation - True Prefix Destination – Hub-A Next Hop Type – Virtual Appliance Next Hope IP – Hub-B Firewall Prefix Destination – Spoke-A Next Hop Type – Virtual Appliance Next Hope IP – Hub-B Firewall Spoke Subnets has an attached UDR with the following Routes Propagation - True Prefix Destination – 0.0.0.0/0 Next Hop Type – Virtual Appliance Next Hope IP – HubA/HubB Firewall (Depending on what hub its peered to) VPN Gateways HA VNET-VNET with BGP Enabled. I can see that it knows the routes and like I said this was working prior introducing the UDRs for force traffic through the azure firewall.
Azure DDoS Protection Standard
Hi Team, Is it recommended to have Azure DDoS Protection Standard enabled for Virtual Network where Virtual network gateways are associated with that Virtual network? This VNG is establishing a VPN tunnel with Onprem VPN Devices. what is the security risk if I am using basic DDoS protection?
Application Security Group
We can associate a VM/NIC with an application security group (ASG) easily either through GUI or Powershell. If I have a SQL Server (PaaS) which is not a VM, how do I associate the SQL Server to application security group? There doesn't seem to be a GUI interface where I can associate it. I do see from Powershell command that the private endpoint or private NIC used on the SQL server has a property for application security group, but the normal set-aznetworkinterface doesn't work on private endpoint. Anyone knows a way to somehow associate it with a application security group? Thanks.
