Private network applications (legacy)
You can configure a Private Network application to manage access to specific applications on your private network.
To create a private network application:
- 
In Zero Trust ↗, go to Access > Applications > Add an application. 
- 
Select Private Network. 
- 
Name your application. 
- 
For Application type, select Destination IP. 
- 
For Value, enter the IP address for your application (for example, 10.128.0.7).
- 
Configure your App Launcher visibility and logo. 
- 
Select Next. You will see two auto-generated Gateway Network policies: one that allows access to the destination IP and another that blocks access. 
- 
Modify the policies to include additional identity-based conditions. For example: - 
Policy 1 Selector Operator Value Logic Action Destination IP in 10.128.0.7And Allow User Email matches regex .*@example.com
- 
Policy 2 Selector Operator Value Action Destination IP in 10.128.0.7Block 
 Policies are evaluated in numerical order, so a user with an email ending in @example.com will be able to access 10.128.0.7while all others will be blocked. For more information on building network policies, refer to our dedicated documentation.
- 
- 
Select Add application. 
Your application will appear on the Applications page.
