The minimum subnet mask is 29 bit for active/passive and 28 bit for active/active configuration.Ĭontinue to the next section to configure authentication and tunnel types. VPN clients dynamically receive an IP address from the range that you specify.
On the Point-to-site configuration page, in the Address pool box, add the private IP address range that you want to use. :::image type="content" source="./media/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-resource-manager-portal/configure-now.png" alt-text="Point-to-site configuration page." lightbox="./media/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-resource-manager-portal/configure-now.png"::: Select Configure now to open the configuration page. In Settings, select Point-to-site configuration. Once the virtual network gateway has been created, navigate to the Settings section of the virtual network gateway page. If you configure multiple protocols and SSTP is one of the protocols, then the configured address pool is split between the configured protocols equally. Use a private IP address range that does not overlap with the on-premises location that you connect from, or the VNet that you want to connect to.
The clients that connect over a Point-to-Site VPN dynamically receive an IP address from this range. The client address pool is a range of private IP addresses that you specify. The client certificate is used to authenticate the client when it initiates a connection to the VNet.
You also generate client certificates from the trusted root certificate, and then install them on each client computer. The root certificate is then considered 'trusted' by Azure for connection over P2S to the virtual network. Once you obtain a root certificate, you upload the public key information to Azure. Generate certificatesĬertificates are used by Azure to authenticate clients connecting to a VNet over a Point-to-Site VPN connection. The gateway appears as a connected device. After the gateway is created, you can view the IP address that has been assigned to it by looking at the virtual network in the portal. You can see the deployment status on the Overview page for your gateway.
If you plan on having Mac clients connect to your virtual network, do not use the Basic SKU. The Basic gateway SKU does not support IKEv2 or RADIUS authentication. Creating a gateway can often take 45 minutes or more, depending on the selected gateway SKU. In this step, you create the virtual network gateway for your VNet. In this section, you create a virtual network. VPN clients that connect to the VNet using this Point-to-Site connection receive an IP address from the client address pool. Subscription: If you have more than one subscription, verify that you are using the correct one.You can have more than one address space for your VNet. You can use the following values to create a test environment, or refer to these values to better understand the examples in this article:įor this example, we use only one address space.
If you don't already have an Azure subscription, you can activate your MSDN subscriber benefits or sign up for a free account. Verify that you have an Azure subscription. To create this configuration using the Azure PowerShell, see Configure a point-to-site VPN using Azure PowerShell. :::image type="content" source="./media/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-resource-manager-portal/point-to-site-diagram.png" alt-text="Connect from a computer to an Azure VNet - point-to-site connection diagram.":::įor more information about point-to-site VPN, see About point-to-site VPN. For more information about Point-to-Site VPN, see About Point-to-Site VPN. P2S creates the VPN connection over either SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol), or IKEv2. Point-to-Site connections do not require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address. You can also use P2S instead of a Site-to-Site VPN when you have only a few clients that need to connect to a VNet. Point-to-Site VPN connections are useful when you want to connect to your VNet from a remote location, such when you are telecommuting from home or a conference. This article helps you securely connect individual clients running Windows, Linux, or macOS to an Azure VNet.
