Some of the sites are not working when browsed from AVD browser. Eg- netflix, hotstar. I believe these webservers have blacklisted Azure VM network to block http request. Is there any solution or workaround to access these websites without using proxy sites?

    I was interested in the question myself, and I've just watched Netflix on a vanilla build (no additional configurations / network restrictions) AVD client. There are no Microsoft enforced Network restrictions when accessing your own VM's inbound or outbound, only those imposed by your organisation. User's image

    There are some multimedia restrictions with multi media redirection, which does directly call out Netflix because it is protected content https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/troubleshoot-multimedia-redirection. kind regards Alistair
