What is Azure App Proxy?

Azure AD Application Proxy provides secure remote access to on-premises web applications. It enables users to access these applications from outside the corporate network without requiring a VPN. It works by installing a connector on an on-premises server, which makes outbound connections to Azure AD, acting as a reverse proxy.
