Security Considerations

While trafficmanager.net is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

Custom Subdomains

trafficmanager.net allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.trafficmanager.net". An address like "paypal-secure.trafficmanager.net" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Microsoft Corporation.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
