My company in Canada uses Azure VPN client. In my role, I am permitted to remotely work in any location I choose. We have family in Cuba and spend a lot of time there. I am wondering, due to US sanctions, will the Azure VPN be blocked if I try working while we are in Cuba? Has anyone used their Azure VPN in Cuba?

I understand that you would like to know if we can connect to an Azure VPN Gateway P2S from Cuba region.
As far as I know, unless and until you are using Sovereign cloud, Azure does not restrict connectivity to P2S Clients from users anywhere in the Internet.
Since we do not have a Cuba region, I am not able to verify this via Lab.
If there is any obstruction in accessing the P2S Gateway from the Cuba region, it is a restriction from the region itself and not from Azure.
Cheers,
Kapil

2023-08-19T12:21:16.17+00:00 In that case, yes.
As long as the ISPs at your local region does not block the connections to Azure, the Product(s) will work as expected.
Cheers,
