Hi Kalpesh Sharma,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!
There might be a configuration issue with your VPN or the network settings for your Azure storage account here are a few things you can check:

Firewall and Virtual Network Settings: Ensure that your home IP address or the VPN’s IP range is allowed in the storage account’s firewall settings. You can do this by navigating to the storage account in the Azure portal, selecting “Firewalls and virtual networks,” and adding the necessary IP addresses, you’re using a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN, make sure that the DNS settings are correctly configured. You might need a DNS Private resolver with a private endpoint. Verify that your VPN client is correctly configured to route traffic to the Azure storage account. Sometimes, the VPN configuration might not include the necessary routes to access Azure resources.
For more information please see:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-private-endpoints
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-configure-p2s-vpn-windows

If your storage account uses a private endpoint, ensure that your VPN is configured to access this endpoint. This might involve setting up a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN or correctly configuring your P2S VPN . Check if there are any NSGs associated with your virtual network that might be blocking traffic from your home VPN connection.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, please look into specific troubleshooting based on the specific error message you encountered.

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.

Hello @Kalpesh Sharma

Thanks for using Q and A forum.

To troubleshoot the issue of accessing an Azure storage account from home via a VPN, follow these steps:

Step 1: Confirm Azure Storage Account Firewall Settings

Verify that the Azure storage account's firewall settings allow access from the IP address range used by your VPN. You may need to add your VPN's IP range to the allowed list in the Azure portal.

Step 2: Review VPN and Network Logs

Examine logs from your VPN client and home network to identify any errors or blocked traffic that might be preventing access.
