App Service Proxy Site Extension

Site Extension-based Reverse Proxy compatible with Azure Functions Proxies

Motivation

With the permanent removal of Azure Functions Proxies from Azure Functions v4, there is no longer a readily available and inexpensive L7 reverse proxy in Azure.

This project provides an alternative implementation of a VNET-integrated gateway built using Azure Functions Proxies, and secure proxies authenticated in combination with App Service Authentication.

Features

• All features of the App Service is available
  • App Service Authentication
  • Custom Domain
  • SSL / TLS (Managed Certificate / Key Vault Certificate)
  • VNET Integration
  • Service Endpoint / Private Endpoint
• .NET 7 and YARP-based high-performance reverse proxy
• Compatibility with Azure Functions Proxies (proxies.json)
• Easy to setup with Azure Portal or ARM Template
• Support for Git integration and CI pipelines

Quick Start

Manual Installation
