Azure VPN Gateway

Azure virtual network gateway that sends encrypted IPsec/IKE traffic for site-to-site, point-to-site and VNet-to-VNet connections.

Definition

VPN Gateway is deployed into a subnet named GatewaySubnet and supports route-based (recommended) or policy-based configurations, active-active mode, BGP and zone-redundant SKUs. Point-to-site supports OpenVPN, IKEv2 and SSTP with certificate, RADIUS or Entra ID authentication.

Example

A branch office connects its on-premises firewall to Azure with a site-to-site IPsec tunnel over the internet.

Exam tip

VPN Gateway traffic traverses the internet encrypted; ExpressRoute provides private connectivity without the public internet.
