-Azure Firewall can provide outbound connectivity to the internet from virtual networks. Azure Firewall provides only 2,496 SNAT ports per public IP address. While Azure Firewall can be associated with up to 250 public IP addresses to handle egress traffic, often, customers require much fewer public IP addresses for connecting outbound due to various architectural requirements and limitations by destination endpoints for the number of public IP addresses they can allowlist. One method by which to get around this allowlist IP limitation and to also reduce the risk of SNAT port exhaustion is to use NAT gateway in the same subnet with Azure Firewall. To learn how to set up NAT gateway in an Azure Firewall subnet, see [Scale SNAT ports with Azure NAT Gateway](../../firewall/integrate-with-nat-gateway.md).
