Forced tunneling of WVD host pool

I have a problem. I have a host pool created in East Asia, but I need all internet traffic from the hosts routed through my West US Vnet. I can setup forced tunneling but that breaks WVD and all hosts become unavailable.

Is there any way to do this without breaking WVD? What I need is for all internet traffic to route through our West US 2 Vnet so that all of our hosts look like they are coming from the US. There is a compliance need for this for medical reasons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @Anthony Kirit

    Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

    Depending on your setup you can route the AVD service traffic directly to the Azure network.

    We recommend something like Azure Firewall to assist with this.

    However, you can even perform this via UDR rules with ServiceTag support that is currently in public preview.

    Please refer below documents:

    Hope this helps.
