InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls

Allow the listed sites to make requests to more-private network endpoints from in an insecure manner (obsolete)

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge version 137.

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 92, until 137

Description

List of URL patterns. Requests initiated from websites served by matching origins aren't subject to Private Network Access checks.

If this policy isn't set, this policy behaves as if set to the empty list.

For origins not covered by the patterns specified here, the global default value is used either from the InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowed policy, if it's set, or the user's personal configuration otherwise.

For detailed information on valid URL patterns, see Filter format for URL list-based policies.

This policy is obsolete. The previous blanket override has been replaced by the permission-based Local Network Access model, which blocks cross-space requests until users grant explicit consent.

Supported features

  • Can be mandatory: Yes
  • Can be recommended: No
  • Dynamic Policy Refresh: Yes
  • Per Profile: Yes
  • Applies to a profile that is signed in with a Microsoft account: Yes
