Is the Azure VPN Gateway Point-to-Site traffic bidirectional?

Hey everyone,

I have a route-based VPN gateway deployed on a VNET in Azure.

I've configured the Point-to-Site connectivity on the gateway and I have connectivity from my local machine to Azure through this VPN gateway (I can reach an Azure VM on the same VNET as the gateway from my local machine).

However I'm trying to do the reverse way by trying to reach my local machine from the Azure VM but unsuccessfully.

Is the Azure VPN Gateway Point-to-Site traffic bidirectional by default? If not, is it possible to reach the local machine from Azure VM through P2S tunnel?

    @Bruno Silva , looks like this is not possible today. You should implement Azure S2S connection here in order to reach your on Prem server and vice versa.

    The correct answer is this should work totally by default. I connected a Point-to-site and was immediately able to access the client from Azure without any issue at all. Please update this answer as I almost stopped trying after reading this thread, but its not accurate. Thanks!
