Summary

  • Moves the "Enable the Gateway proxy" instructions from an optional Step 3 sub-section to a hard prerequisite at the top of the setup flow for private hostname routing
  • Requires TCP and UDP (for DNS resolver traffic), recommends ICMP (for ping/traceroute)
  • Removes the duplicate "Enable the Gateway proxy" sub-section from Step 3, which now focuses solely on recommended Zero Trust filtering policies
  • Fixes heading hierarchy after removing the intermediate #### Zero Trust policies heading

Addresses ESCALATION-217— customer could not make private hostnames work because the Gateway proxy setting was not enabled, and the docs did not surface this as a prerequisite.
