You can now route any IPv4 and IPv6 traffic entering your Amazon VPC from virtual private gateway through a Gateway Load Balancer endpoint before the traffic reaches the destination. You can use Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint to process your VPC traffic through AWS Network Firewall or other security appliances available on AWS Market Place.
Gateway Load Balancers enable you to deploy, scale, and manage virtual appliances, such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and deep packet inspection systems. Gateway Load Balancers use Gateway Load Balancer endpoints to securely exchange traffic across VPC boundaries. With this enhancement, you can route traffic entering your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) from your virtual private gateway through a Gateway Load Balancer Endpoint before it reaches the destination.
This feature is available in all AWS commercial regions (except Israel (Tel Aviv)) and the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. See this AWS Launch Blog on how to use this capability.
