Hi Sachin,

I have generally use **AntiForgeryToken** for prevents external get requests. So no one can access outside.

Suppose, we are having **AntiForgeryToken** in our **Html.BeginForm** in [View](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84701/layoffs-in-google-india-2023-view).

```
@using (Html.BeginForm()){@Html.AntiForgeryToken(){}}
```

When we submit form, we sends data to your Controller method. If method has **ValidateAntiForgeryToken** attribute, it validates if data we are sending has our **ForgeryToken**.**ForgeryToken** is generated once per session.

\

```
 [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]public ViewResult Action_Method(){}
```
