 # Azure Firewall forced tunneling
 
 When you configure a new Azure Firewall, you can route all Internet-bound traffic to a designated next hop instead of going directly to the Internet. For example, you may have a default route advertised via BGP or using User Defined Route (UDR) to force traffic to an on-premises edge firewall or other network virtual appliance (NVA) to process network traffic before it's passed to the Internet. To support this configuration, you must create Azure Firewall with Forced Tunnel configuration enabled. This is a mandatory requirement to avoid service disruption. If this is a pre-existing firewall, you must recreate the firewall in Forced Tunnel mode to support this configuration. For more information, see the [Azure Firewall FAQ](firewall-faq.yml#how-can-i-stop-and-start-azure-firewall) about stopping and restarting a firewall in Forced Tunnel mode.
 
-Some customers prefer not to expose a public IP address directly to the Internet. In this case, you can deploy Azure Firewall in Forced Tunneling mode without a public IP address. This configuration creates a management interface with a public IP address that is used by Azure Firewall for its operations. The public IP address is used exclusively by the Azure platform and can't be used for any other purpose.The tenant data path network can be configured without a public IP address, and Internet traffic can be forced tunneled to another Firewall or completely blocked.

 Azure Firewall provides automatic SNAT for all outbound traffic to public IP addresses. Azure Firewall doesn’t SNAT when the destination IP address is a private IP address range per IANA RFC 1918. This logic works perfectly when you egress directly to the Internet. However, with forced tunneling enabled, Internet-bound traffic is SNATed to one of the firewall private IP addresses in the AzureFirewallSubnet. This hides the source address from your on-premises firewall. You can configure Azure Firewall to not SNAT regardless of the destination IP address by adding *0.0.0.0/0* as your private IP address range. With this configuration, Azure Firewall can never egress directly to the Internet. For more information, see [Azure Firewall SNAT private IP address ranges](snat-private-range.md).

 ## Forced tunneling configuration
 
-You can configure Forced Tunneling during Firewall creation by enabling Forced Tunnel mode as shown below. To support forced tunneling, Service Management traffic is separated from customer traffic. An additional dedicated subnet named **AzureFirewallManagementSubnet** (minimum subnet size /26) is required with its own associated public IP address. This public IP address is for management traffic. It is used exclusively by the Azure platform and can't be used for any other purpose.

 In Forced Tunneling mode, the Azure Firewall service incorporates the Management subnet (AzureFirewallManagementSubnet) for its *operational* purposes. By default, the service associates a system-provided route table to the Management subnet. The only route allowed on this subnet is a default route to the Internet and *Propagate gateway* routes must be disabled. Avoid associating customer route tables to the Management subnet when you create the firewall.

 If your organization uses a public IP address range for private networks, Azure Firewall SNATs the traffic to one of the firewall private IP addresses in AzureFirewallSubnet. However, you can configure Azure Firewall to **not** SNAT your public IP address range. For more information, see [Azure Firewall SNAT private IP address ranges](snat-private-range.md).
 
-Once you configure Azure Firewall to support forced tunneling, you can't undo the configuration. If you remove all other IP configurations on your firewall, the management IP configuration is removed as well and the firewall is deallocated. The public IP address assigned to the management IP configuration can't be removed, but you can assign a different public IP address.
