I have created a Team Bot service that runs in the office, it connects to my Azure tenancy. I dont want to publish the service callback URL on the internet but rather use a site to site VPN or equivalent. I have created a VPN which it says is connected but when I change the call back from the public FQDN to the local FQDN the callback doesnt see to connect. Has anyone tried this?

2023-12-18T11:18:20.7433333+00:00 Teams requires all services it accesses to be available publicly using HTTPS endpoints. Therefore, it is recommended to use tunneling software like ngrok to create an externally addressable URL for your local running instance.
If you want to connect your Team Bot service to your Azure tenancy securely without exposing the callback URL on the internet, you can consider using Azure Virtual Network (VNet) and Azure Private Link. Azure Private Link allows you to securely access services over a private endpoint within your VNet, without exposing the service to the public internet.
Here are the steps you can follow to set up Azure Private Link for your Team Bot service:
- Create a Virtual Network (VNet) in Azure.
- Create an Azure Private Endpoint within the VNet for your Team Bot service.
- Configure the Private Endpoint to connect to your Team Bot service.
- Update the callback URL in your Team Bot service to use the private endpoint's FQDN.
By using Azure Private Link, your Team Bot service can securely connect to your Azure tenancy without exposing the callback URL on the internet. This allows you to leverage the benefits of a site-to-site VPN or equivalent for secure communication.
Please note that the specific implementation details may vary depending on your Azure setup and requirements. It is recommended to refer to the Azure documentation for more information on setting up Azure Private Link and configuring private endpoints.
