# Networking

{% hint style="info" %}
A DBNL Deployment does not connect back to a hosted external Distributional cloud service. It is designed for enterprise use on potentially sensitive log data that cannot leave the enterprise environment. For more information see [Data Security](/v0.26.x/platform/data-security.md).
{% endhint %}

## Ingress

### Requirements

The DBNL platform needs to be hosted on a domain or subdomain (e.g. dbnl-example.com or dbnl.example.com). It cannot be hosted on a subpath. 

### HTTPS/SSL

It is recommended that the DBNL platform be served over HTTPS. Support for SSL termination at the load balancer is included.

## Egress

Currently, the dbnl platform cannot run in an air-gapped environment and requires a few URLs to be accessible via egress.
