There are many scenario in which we
have to work on Microsoft Azure Cloud doing experiments and LABs, or we have to
setup some Application Server’s on which different people have to work like a
team, such as a team of developer is working on a project which is hosted on
Microsoft Azure plate from and the developers are located in different geo
location. These kind of scenario for which Azure provides Point to Site VPN
Secure connectivity so that every individual connect remotely with a secure
SSTP VPN connection and perform his job.
A Point-to-Site (P2S) configuration
lets you create a secure connection from an individual client computer to a
virtual network. P2S is a VPN connection over SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling
Protocol). Point-to-Site connections are useful when you want to connect to
your VNet from a remote location, such as from home or a conference, or when
you only have a few clients that need to connect to a virtual network. P2S
connections do not require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address. You
establish the VPN connection from the client computer. In this Lab, we will
walk through the steps involved in setting up a remote P2S VPN with Microsoft
Windows Azure Cloud plate form.
LAB Setup for Azure VPN
We need to
following requirements before we start P2S VPN.
