Secure Azure app services behind Azure Front Door using private link

When an Azure App Service is exposed through Azure Front Door, it utilizes the public address and directs the traffic over the public network. However, we can leverage Azure Front Door as the gateway and restrict all public traffic to our origin (Azure App Service app) by utilizing the Private Link integration feature available in Azure Front Door Premium.

Private Link integration enables Front Door to connect with your origin using the Private Link service. This approach eliminates the necessity for your origin to be accessed over the public internet. Instead, it permits Front Door to access the origin using Microsoft's backbone network.



















This process establishes the Private Link connection for the origin and necessitates your approval at the origin.
