Setting up IPsec Tunnel from Sonicwall NSv to remote site

Hello,

I have a VM inside of azure which is running Sonicwall NSv 270

I am trying to build an IPSec tunnel between it and a remote site.

The VM has 2 NICs

X1 WAN 10.1.0.4 DFGW 10.1.0.1

X0 LAN 10.1.1.4

I have 2 Subnets in Azure for these interfaces:

10.1.0.0/24

10.1.1.0/24

What I aiming to do is create an IPSec tunnel between a remote site and my Sonicwall instance.

I have created an ANY/ANY rule from the public IP of the remote site

I have a route table that is associated with both subnets - I am not sure if this route table is correctly configured.

IPsecInternal

10.156.0.0/24 <-- Remote VPN Range

VirtualAppliance

10.1.0.1 <-- The default gateway of the Sonicwall

IPsecTest

10.1.1.0/24 <--- X0 subnet

VirtualAppliance

10.1.0.1 <-- The default gateway of the sonicwall

I'm quite new to Azure as you can see so any advice would be great.

    hi @Jakezxz1

    From what I understand, your VPN policy is based on tunnel interfaces, correct? Why not consider using a site-to-site connection?

    A site-to-site connection is more straightforward and automatically adds routes. The configuration for this is provided below:

    Authentication Method: IKE using Preshared Secret

    For Proposals:

    I believe that using this way it is easier to manage and configure
