Hi @Gowda, Hariprasad ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.
I understand that you would like to understand if there are outbound support in AFD.

As of now, we do not have outbound rules for origins behind AFD.
We cannot make outbound requests via AFD from a backend Origin.

For incoming requests,

• URL Redirects : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-url-redirect?pivots=front-door-standard-premium

Please let me know if you require more information on this.

Cheers,
Kapil.
