 Disabling public network access is enforced on a specific DPS resource, ensuring isolation. To keep the service active for other customer resources using the public path, its public endpoint remains resolvable, IP addresses discoverable, and ports remain open. This is not a cause for concern as Microsoft integrates multiple layers of security to ensure complete isolation between tenants.

 # Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service (DPS) support for virtual networks
 
-This article introduces the virtual network (VNET) connectivity pattern for IoT devices provisioning with IoT hubs using DPS. This pattern provides private connectivity between the devices, DPS, and the IoT hub inside a customer-owned Azure VNET.

 ## Introduction
 
-By default, DPS hostnames map to a public endpoint with a publicly routable IP address over the Internet. This public endpoint is visible to all customers. Access to the public endpoint can be attempted by IoT devices over wide-area networks and on-premises networks.
+By default, DPS hostnames map to a public endpoint with a publicly routable IP address over the Internet. This public endpoint is visible to all customers. IoT devices over wide-area networks and on-premises networks can try to access the public endpoint.
 
 For several reasons, customers may wish to restrict connectivity to Azure resources, like DPS. These reasons include:
 
 * Prevent connection exposure over the public Internet. Exposure can be reduced by introducing more layers of security via network level isolation for your IoT hub and DPS resources
 
-* Enabling a private connectivity experience from your on-premises network assets ensuring that your data and traffic 
-is transmitted directly to Azure backbone network.
+* Enabling a private connectivity experience from your on-premises network assets ensuring that your data and traffic is transmitted directly to Azure backbone network.
 
 * Preventing exfiltration attacks from sensitive on-premises networks.
 
 * Following established Azure-wide connectivity patterns using [private endpoints](../private-link/private-endpoint-overview.md).
 
-Common approaches to restricting connectivity include [DPS IP filter rules](./iot-dps-ip-filtering.md) and Virtual networking (VNET) with [private endpoints](../private-link/private-endpoint-overview.md). The goal of this article is to describe the VNET approach for DPS using private endpoints.

-Devices that operate in on-premises networks can use [Virtual Private Network (VPN)](../vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-about-vpngateways.md) or [ExpressRoute](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/expressroute/) private peering to connect to a VNET in Azure and access DPS resources through private endpoints.

-A private endpoint is a private IP address allocated inside a customer-owned VNET by which an Azure resource is accessible. By having a private endpoint for your DPS resource, you will be able to allow devices operating inside your VNET to request provisioning by your DPS resource without allowing traffic to the public endpoint. Each DPS resource can support multiple private endpoints, each of which may be located in a VNET in a different region.

This means that you can no longer use the Azure portal to manage enrollments. Instead you can manage enrollments using the Azure CLI, PowerShell, or service APIs from machines inside the VNET(s)/private endpoint(s) configured on the DPS instance.
