2 VPNs with 1 VPN Gateway

Question

Hello, I want to connect 3 VMs with the customer and also with the admin team of my company. So I understand I need to establish 2 connections since 2 different points to the Azure tenant. Can I configure 2 tunnels considering only 1 VPN Gateway (I configure 1 in the calculator)?

Thanks

Hi Rolando,

It looks like you want to configure to VPNs to one VPN gateway , In that case yes It's possible and I suggest to follow this thread https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1534652/how-to-setup-dual-vpn-with-azure-vpn-gateway-with.

You can configure two tunnels using a single Azure VPN Gateway with this overall steps:

1. Create the VPN Gateway: Set up a VPN Gateway in Azure.
2. First Tunnel: Configure a site-to-site VPN connection for your customer’s network.
3. Second Tunnel: Configure another site-to-site VPN connection for your admin team’s network.
4. Routing: Ensure proper routing so traffic is directed through the correct tunnels.

Besides that , another option it's use Azure Bastion to secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your VMs directly from the Azure portal. This can be a good option for the admin team to manage the VMs without needing a VPN.
