**Tell us about your request**
When using Cloudfront and/or WAF in front of App Runner to hide the services IP-addresses, the services are still reachable on _https://foobar.region.awsapprunner.com_. While this URL is difficult to just guess, it's still a security (DDoS) risk if they somehow end up in the wrong hands.

If we could access the security group or even better just tick a box to disable the _awsapprunner.com_ URL, this would be solved.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Having some logic in the application level to ignore requests not coming from other AWS services, but this is only a slight protection as the requests will still saturate the App Runner services.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by investigating how App Runner exposes the awsapprunner.com URL when CloudFront or WAF is in front, then determine the service-level change needed. Done means an explicit way to disable or otherwise prevent direct access through that URL, with behavior documented and verified.
