Azure VWAN traffic between source and destination worked in HUB but did not work when the hub became secure with Azure Firewall.

Hi Experts,

Please see the attached ENV diagram; when the VWAN does not have a firewall, traffic from siteA to App01 works, and vice versa; however, once the firewall is installed in the HUB with the allow all FW policy, communication from siteA to App01 does not work.

could you please guide me how to resolve the issue.

    Hi Veera,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

    • This occurs when the traffic from the source to the destination takes a different path than the return traffic.

    In your case, the traffic from the source to the destination might be going through the Azure Firewall, but the return traffic might be bypassing the firewall, causing the connection to fail.

    Routing Configuration:

    • This is likely due to asymmetric routing.
    • Misconfigured routes might cause the traffic to be dropped.
    • Ensure there are no conflicting NSGs or UDRs that could be interfering with the traffic flow.

    This can be achieved by configuring the routing policies and intent correctly.

    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
