Connecting to Azure using a point-to-site VPN


When a connection to Azure is made over the Internet, two types of connections can be made:

  • An S2S VPN connection: This connects the Microsoft Azure virtual network to an on-premises network over VPN

  • A P2S VPN connection: This allows a secure VPN connection between a client device and Microsoft Azure

To set up a P2S connection, these high-level steps need to be performed:

  1. Create a virtual network in Azure.

  2. Define the address block for the clients.

  3. Create a dynamic routing gateway.

  4. Create certificates.

  5. Export certificates and upload them to Microsoft Azure.

  6. Download and install the VPN client software.

    Note

    At the time of writing this book, it is not possible to disable VPN access for a certain user. This is required, for example, when an employee leaves the company he or she works for. The only way to disable VPN access is by recreating certificates.
