# Customer intent: "As a network administrator, I want to implement FQDN filtering in Azure Firewall network rules, so that I can control outbound traffic based on domain names and ensure security for various protocols without using wildcards."

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) represents the complete domain name of a host or one or more IP addresses. In Azure Firewall and Firewall policy, you can use FQDNs in network rules based on DNS resolution. This feature allows you to filter outbound traffic using any TCP/UDP protocol, including NTP, SSH, and RDP. To use FQDNs in your network rules, you must enable DNS Proxy. For more information, see [Azure Firewall DNS settings](dns-settings.md).

### Differences between application rules and network rules

- FQDN filtering in application rules for HTTP/S and MSSQL relies on an application-level transparent proxy and the SNI header. This allows it to differentiate between two FQDNs that resolve to the same IP address. This capability isn't available with FQDN filtering in network rules.
