I am not sure if I get the details .... What do you mean with "connect to the network? The network in Azure?
The Azure VPN Gateway offers Site To Site and Point To Site connections. Instead of connecting to the on-premises VPN device the users can connect to the Azure VPN Gateway Point To Site (after configuration) as well.
Maybe this is helpful.
