Update firewall-faq with ESP packet support details
Added information on Azure Firewall's support for ESP packets and configuration details for allowing ESP traffic through network rules. Included recommendations for IPsec VPN configurations
### Summary
This PR adds a new FAQ entry explaining how to allow ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) traffic for IPSec VPN scenarios in Azure Firewall and NSG.
### Details
- Added a new question: **"Can Azure Firewall pass ESP packets (IPSec VPN)?"**
- Provided configuration steps for Azure Firewall:
- Protocol: Any
- Source port: * (Any)
- Destination port: * (Any)
- Source/Destination: Specify IP addresses as needed
- Included guidance for NSG:
- Protocol: Any
- Port: * (Any)
- Added recommendations:
- Use Azure VPN Gateway for IPSec VPN configurations
- Consider NVA (Network Virtual Appliance) for advanced scenarios
### Why
Some customers frequently attempt to implement this configuration when setting up IPSec VPN with Azure Firewall. Without clear documentation, this often leads to confusion, misconfiguration, and support cases. This FAQ provides explicit guidance, a documented workaround, and best practices to ensure proper implementation and avoid operational issues.
### Impact
- Improves clarity for customers configuring IPSec VPN with Azure Firewall
- Reduces support cases related to ESP traffic blocking
- Aligns with internal design guidance (ESP_Design.docx).1 parent a62dc8b commit 55be3d4
