Hello Azure guru.

We are in the process of getting rid of Cisco VPN, and thinking about using Azure VPN.

Can you tell me which Azure VPN solution can support remote users (Users work from Home, and field Engineers).

My question is can azure VPN allow remote users to access on prem reources such as access to share drive on file servers, and other in house application, etc.

Thank you for your help.

    Hi @brichardi

    The azure VPN was designed for you to access the resources that are in Azure; if your goal is to access only the on-premise resources, the best way is to have your equipment for these vpns, such as a Linux firewall, sonicwall, palo alto, Fortinet.

    Now if you only want to access the resources that are in Azure, the azure VPN gateway does not have any limitations, from the client, such as a dynamic public IP

    Get in touch if you need more help with this issue.

    Hi, You can create vWan resources which enables you create P2S gateway via which your remote client can connect and VPN gateway via which you can connect to On-Premises and with vWan P2S clients can communicate with On-Premises.
