> For a relayed connection with TURN, the IP subnet **`20.202.0.0/16`** is shared with Azure Communication Services. However, **Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 will transition to the dedicated IP range `51.5.0.0/16`**, which is exclusively reserved for these services.

> **What to expect:** Starting **June 15**, Microsoft will begin rolling out the new TURN relay IP range **`51.5.0.0/16`** across **40 Azure regions**. This upgrade enhances **RDP Shortpath for public networks (via TURN/Relay)** connectivity, delivering faster, more reliable performance for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 (W365) users.

> **What admins should do:** To ensure uninterrupted service and optimal performance, administrators should:
194-
- **Ensure accessibility**: Make sure the 51.5.0.0/16 subnet is accessible from all networks used for AVD and W365 connectivity. This includes both on-premises and cloud environments.
195-
> - **Use the ‘[WindowsVirtualDesktop’](/azure/virtual-desktop/required-fqdn-endpoint) service tag**: This tag now includes the new subnet, simplifying firewall and network rule configuration.
196-
- **Optimize traffic flow**:
197-
- Avoid TLS inspection on this traffic, as it is already encrypted and inspection can degrade performance.
198-
- Ensure traffic is **locally egressed**—routed directly to Microsoft’s infrastructure without unnecessary detours.
199-
- **Bypass VPNs, proxies, and Secure Web Gateways (SWGs)** for this traffic to reduce latency and improve reliability.
200-
- Use **User Defined Routes (UDRs)** in Azure to direct traffic to the internet instead of through virtual firewalls when needed.
