+# Azure Firewall remote work support
+
+Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure virtual network resources. It's a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability. 
+
+## Firewall rules
+
+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 [What is Windows Virtual Desktop?](../virtual-desktop/overview.md#requirements)
+
+You can configure this outbound access using Azure Firewall application rules. For more information, see [Tutorial: Deploy and configure Azure Firewall using the Azure portal](tutorial-firewall-deploy-portal.md).
+
+## Next steps
+

 For aggregating large-scale VPN connection, to support any-to-any connections between resources in different on-prem global locations, in different regional hub and spoke virtual networks, and to optimize utilization of multiple home broadband networks you can use Azure Virtual WAN. For more information, see [Struggling to cater to work from home needs? Here is where Azure Virtual WAN can help](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2123769).
 
+Another way to support a remote workforce is to deploy a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) hosted in your Azure virtual network, secured with an Azure Firewall. For example, Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is a desktop and app virtualization service that runs in Azure. With Windows Virtual Desktop, you can set up a scalable and flexible environment in your Azure subscription without the need to run any additional gateway servers. You are only responsible for the WVD virtual machines in your virtual network. For more information, see [Azure Firewall remote work support](../firewall/remote-work-support.md).

 Azure also has a rich set of eco system partners. Our partners Network Virtual Appliances on Azure can also help scale VPN connectivity. For more information, see [Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) Considerations during COVID-19](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2123771).
