Secure Web Proxy (SWP) uses a Cloud Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway to allow external communication between Google Cloud Platform (GCP) workloads and internet destinations. This NAT gateway is automatically provisioned when you set up your SWP instance.
To limit the number of IP addresses being used up, the Cloud NAT gateway now uses dynamic port allocation (DPA) for SWP. This feature is generally available (GA).

You can now configure your Secure Web Proxy (SWP) instance to be a next hop for routing web traffic within your network. To create a next hop, you can use either policy-based routes or static routes.
Cloud Secure Web Proxy supports TLS inspection, which helps you intercept the TLS traffic, inspect the encrypted request, and enforce security policies. This feature is supported in Preview.
