This guide walks you through the initial setup and configuration of an Azure VPN Gateway. It covers the key steps for establishing a secure connection between your on-premises network and Azure Virtual Networks.
You'll need an Azure subscription, an Azure Resource Group, and a virtual network configured in Azure.
Create a new virtual network in Azure. This will be the foundation for your VPN connection.
You can do this through the Azure portal or the Azure CLI.
Create a new VPN Gateway in the same virtual network. This will establish the VPN tunnel.
Configure the VPN Gateway to connect to your on-premises network using your IPsec pre-shared key (PSK).
Map your on-premises network to the virtual network to allow traffic to flow through the VPN.
Test the connection by pinging a server on your on-premises network and verifying that traffic is routed through the VPN.
Security, Latency, and Bandwidth all play a crucial role in the success of the VPN implementation.
