If I put our perspective frontend gateways behind something like AppGate SDP where only our internal employees have Appgate access, would that mean that the perspective pages couldn't be accessed by people who don't have AppGate logins like for example customers who have logins to some of our pages?

Yea we are thinking of putting port 8043 behind AppGate because it can be used to run arbitrary code on the OS.

UPDATE: Yes it does block access.
