## Firewall rules

18-
You can use Azure Firewall to secure your virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) inbound RDP access to your Azure virtual network using Azure Firewall [DNAT rules](rule-processing.md). Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) doesn't require you to open any inbound access to your virtual network. However, you must allow a set of outbound network connections for the WVD virtual machines that run in your virtual network. For more information, see [Use Azure Firewall to protect Window Virtual Desktop deployments](protect-windows-virtual-desktop.md).

## Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment support
19+
20+
Work from home policies requires many IT organizations to address fundamental changes in capacity, network, security, and governance. Employees aren't protected by the layered security policies associated with on-premises services while working from home. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments on Azure can help organizations rapidly respond to this changing environment. However, you need a way to protect inbound/outbound Internet access to and from these VDI deployments. You can use Azure Firewall [DNAT rules](rule-processing.md) along with its [threat intelligence](threat-intel.md) based filtering capabilities to protect your VDI deployments.

## Azure Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) support
23+
24+
Windows Virtual Desktop is a comprehensive desktop and app virtualization service running in Azure. It’s the only virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that delivers simplified management, multi-session Windows 10, optimizations for Office 365 ProPlus, and support for Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environments. You can deploy and scale your Windows desktops and apps on Azure in minutes, and get built-in security and compliance features. WVD doesn't require you to open any inbound access to your virtual network. However, you must allow a set of outbound network connections for the WVD virtual machines that run in your virtual network. For more information, see [Use Azure Firewall to protect Window Virtual Desktop deployments](protect-windows-virtual-desktop.md).

A session should be initiated only from the Azure portal. Sign in to the Azure portal and begin your session again. If you go to the URL directly from another browser session or tab, this error is expected. It helps ensure that your session is more secure and that the session can be accessed only through the Azure portal.

For scenarios that include both Azure Bastion and Azure Firewall/Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) in the same virtual network, you don’t need to force traffic from an Azure Bastion subnet to Azure Firewall because the communication between Azure Bastion and your VMs is private.

Review any error messages and [raise a support request in the Azure Portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request) as needed. Deployment failures may result from [Azure subscription limits, quotas and constraints](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits). Specifically, customers may encounter a limit on the number of public IP addresses allowed per subscription that causes the Azure Bastion deployment to fail.
