Azure VPN sts and p2s help

Question

Hello Everyone

I'm new to this but i can ask for help on this subject VPN Point-to-Site, Site-to-Site I'm sorry if I am repeating this question if it has already been asked.

I was asked by my boss to research this topic and what things you will need.

I have watched tutorials on this but i am struggling to find certain info and its overwhelming me, I have read the about the azure gateway,

but certain points are confusing regarding pricing for example does each tunnel mean for each client from the server to an onsite location .

Also in azure do you get test labs or a sandbox included to test out the VPN it was a question my boss asked about how we can deploy one as we don't want to test on an existing clients Azure.

And what are some other general points i need to research for this.

Thanks very much

Hi @Technical | Nth Degree , thank you for your question. I can understand your struggle and I hope we'll be able to provide with better answers.

1. For a site-to-Site, a tunnel is established between your Azure VPN Gateway and your VPN appliance on-premises (onsite location), and all your clients working from your onsite location are using the same tunnel to reach to Azure. when it comes to the P2S which is also manage by the same VPN Gateway, each client connection to Azure using the P2S connection has his own tunnel.
2. Azure doesn't offer such thing as Sandbox to test your future architecture, but you can build a test environment yourself and test all the requirements you are expecting to have in your production environment. However, the environment will be charged as the same as the production environment.
