    Hello @Karthick G ,

    From your description, I understand that you have an Azure VPN gateway deployed in Vnet A and your VMs are in Vnet B. And there is a Vnet peering between Vnet A and Vnet B. If this is correct and you do not have an Azure VPN gateway deployed in Vnet B, then in order for your clients to access Vnet B resources via P2S VPN, you need to enable UseRemoteGateway / AllowGatewayTransit features in your Vnet peering.
    Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-resource-manager-portal#can-i-configure-a-point-to-site-client-to-connect-to-multiple-virtual-networks-at-the-same-time
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-peering-gateway-transit

    If you have already enable UseRemoteGateway / AllowGatewayTransit features in your Vnet peering and have configured Vnet peering after the P2S configuration, then you need to delete the existing VPN client from your local machine and download a fresh P2S Client from the VPN gateway page in Azure portal and install it for the VM Vnet routes to be propagated to your local machine.

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance on this issue from our end.
