Disabling VPC Border Protection

Scenario

If your workloads are blocked by mistake, you can temporarily disable the VPC border firewall. The firewall does not check any traffic while it is disabled.

If you no longer need VPC border traffic protection, manually restore the configuration of the enterprise router after disabling the protection. For details, see Restoring the Enterprise Router Configuration After VPC Border Protection Is Permanently Disabled.

Impacts on Services

After the firewall is disabled, traffic at the VPC border will not be protected. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
