Explanation
To ensure the Application Load Balancer can reference on-premises resources without traffic traversing the internet, you should configure a hybrid network endpoint group (NEG). Hybrid NEGs allow you to include on-premises endpoints connected through Dedicated Interconnect or VPN as part of the backend for the load balancer. Traffic from the load balancer will use the private connection (Dedicated Interconnect) to reach the on-premises resources. Opening the firewalls for the proxy-only subnet ensures that the load balancer can connect to the backend securely while keeping traffic internal and off the public internet.
