Network Configuration Update Now Active

The network configuration changes for GitHub Copilot coding agent announced on February 13, 2026 have now taken effect as of February 27. These changes impact teams running Copilot coding agent on self-hosted runners or larger runners with Azure private networking capabilities.

Plan-Based API Routing

Copilot now implements subscription-based network routing, directing connections to different API hosts depending on the Copilot plan associated with the user initiating the agent task:

  • Copilot Business: api.business.githubcopilot.com
  • Copilot Enterprise: api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com
  • Copilot Pro and Pro+: api.individual.githubcopilot.com

Required Action Items

Teams that previously configured their network to allow connections to the legacy host api.githubcopilot.com can now remove it from their allowlists. Organizations must update their firewall rules and network policies to reflect the new subscription-based endpoints to ensure uninterrupted Copilot service on self-hosted infrastructure.

This routing mechanism provides better isolation and management of Copilot traffic based on subscription tier, enabling more granular control over agent access and usage patterns within enterprise environments.
