Announcing the public preview of disable VNet peering route, a route-table capability that gives you more control over traffic between peered virtual networks. DPR suppresses system-generated peering routes on subnets associated with the route table while preserving the peering connection itself.

In large hub-and-spoke networks, you can pair this feature with a summarized user-defined route to direct traffic through a network virtual appliance, such as Azure Firewall, instead of maintaining a separate override for every spoke. This helps simplify route management as your network grows.
Manage DPR through route-table configuration or Azure Virtual Network Manager routing rule collections. You configure the replacement UDRs and inspection path; DPR does not create them automatically.
