Is it possible for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) to operate with forced tunneling? The scenario is as follows:

  1. AVD is deployed in a VNet that is peered with a hub VNet containing Azure Firewall and a VPN gateway.
  2. Internet traffic from the AVD needs to be directed to the firewall with forced tunneling configured, which then routes traffic to the VPN Gateway. This gateway has a site-to-site connection to an on-premises firewall and web proxies.

Will this configuration work? Specifically, will users be able to access AVD from the internet?
