Presented herein are techniques to provide an endpoint in a multi-site Software-defined network (SDN) fabric with an Internet access route that is optimal for the specific site in which the endpoint is located. In particular, a control plane node in a first site of a multi-site SDN fabric registers a border node in the first site as a Default Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) for Internet access or unknown endpoint identifier (EID) of the first site. The first site includes at least one endpoint. The control plane node receives a request for Internet access for the at least one endpoint and provides a dynamically-selected Internet access route via a same or different virtual instance (e.g., Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) function(s), Virtual Private Network(s) (VPNs), Virtual Networks (VNs), etc.) for Internet traffic sent by the at least one endpoint.
