I'm looking for a solution where I need establish another VPN gateway separate to the one I have in hub and spoke Architecture. I would need something like this on the diagram bellow. It seems that Azure does not support that. When I try to deploy extra VPN GW I'm getting message that this is not possible because peering with gateway transit exists. Does any one have Idea how to achieve something like this ? I'm googling for quite some time and can't find anything.
Required Azure Network
Found an MS document that can help you add additional Site-to-Site (S2S) connections to a VPN gateway that has an existing connection. This architecture is often referred to as a "multi-site" configuration. You can add a S2S connection to a VNet that already has a S2S connection, Point-to-Site connection, or VNet-to-VNet connection. There are some limitations when adding connections. Check the Prerequisites section in this article to verify before you start your configuration.
Prerequisites
• You are not configuring a new coexisting ExpressRoute and VPN Gateway configuration.
• You have a virtual network that was created using the Resource Manager deployment model with an existing connection.
• The virtual network gateway for your VNet is RouteBased. If you have a PolicyBased VPN gateway, you must delete the virtual network gateway and create a new VPN gateway as RouteBased.
• None of the address ranges overlap for any of the VNets that this VNet is connecting to.
• You have compatible VPN device and someone who is able to configure it. See About VPN Devices. If you aren't familiar with configuring your VPN device, or are unfamiliar with the IP address ranges located in your on-premises network configuration, you need to coordinate with someone who can provide those details for you.
• You have an externally facing public IP address for your VPN device.
Would suggest you follow this MS document to configure a connection

I know Virtual network peering is a thing but just like that is VPN Gateway peering is a thing? if so then if a VPN Gateway(A) with AD AuthN(OpenVPN SSL tunnel type) and a VPN Gateway(B) with Azure certificate-based authN with SSTP(SSL) tunnel type, Can A and B be peered.
Questions based on above:
Do we have to do S2S peering setup between A and B with manual routing for each to access any resource from A to B and vice versa?
What is the limitation of this setup and advantages(if any)?
Will it be called a Hybrid solution?
If you have two VPN gateways in Azure, you could configure the VNet-to-VNet connections to connect Azure VNets to each other. You don't need manual routing. VNet-to-VNet supports connecting virtual networks. Connecting multiple Azure virtual networks together doesn't require a VPN device unless cross-premises connectivity is required.
When you connect a virtual network to another virtual network with a
VNet-to-VNet connection type (VNet2VNet), it's similar to creating a
Site-to-Site IPsec connection to an on-premises location. Both
connection types use a VPN gateway to provide a secure tunnel with
IPsec/IKE and function the same way when communicating. However, they
differ in the way the local network gateway is configured.
When you create a VNet-to-VNet connection, the local network gateway
address space is automatically created and populated. If you update
the address space for one VNet, the other VNet automatically routes to
the updated address space. It's typically faster and easier to create
a VNet-to-VNet connection than a Site-to-Site connection.
You could read the document for more details.
My VNet won't allow me to connect to the s2s location via p2s connection.
I'm trying to connect the Azure VPN client on my machine and reach a site that is allowed in a network which I have a s2s connection to.
Here's the thing, I can't get traffic to flow from my pc running the VPN client, out to the target site.
Topology
PC > VPN Client > VNet via p2s > Remote network via s2s > FTP server
I'd like to be able to ping the FTP server from my machine.
Currently only devices in the VNet can ping.
I tried setting up BGP but it broke the connection, as I don't really know how things should be set.
I don't have access to the remote site or it's devices.
I have a Azure local network gateway which is configured as the s2s location.
I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense.
Edit: here is the picture of the network
BGP is the standard routing protocol which enables the Azure VPN Gateways and your on-premise VPN devices to exchange "routes" that will inform both gateways on the availability and reachability for those prefixes to go through the gateways or routers involved.
To configure the BGP, your on-premise device should also support BGP. Read
What address does Azure VPN gateway use for BGP Peer IP?
What are the requirements for the BGP Peer IP addresses on my VPN device?
What should I specify as my address prefixes for the Local Network Gateway when I use BGP?
Without BGP, If you add the point-to-site addresses after you create your site-to-site VPN connection, you need to update the routes manually. You need to manually add the routes to the remote network on your machine.
For more information, you could refer to configure and validate virtual network or VPN connections. Except the Ping tool, you prefer to use TCping tool, see the detailed steps.
Generally, you could troubleshoot the issue by searching the common issue and solution in the virtual network gateway---Diagnose and solve problems on Azure portal. It's recommended to new a support ticket to get your issue resolved quickly.
My solution to this as I can't enable BPG is to use a proxy server within the VNet.
I'm trying to setup a VPN connection from a VLAN in Azure to on-premise. We have two different ISP's on-premise and I want to setup Azure with a VPN connecting to both so that if the primary ISP is down Azure will try to connect using the secondary.
The problem is that I can't add two gateways to a single VLAN, and the one gateway will not let me add two VPN connection with the same IP address range. I can understand that if I wanted both to be active, but I want one to be standby and only used if the first disconnects.
Is this even possible? Any pointers would be great?
I have been looking at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-highlyavailable#a-name--activeactiveonpremamultiple-on-premises-vpn-devices but that only covers active-active setup which is not what I want.
I want both VNET resouces and on-premise resources to reach each other via the same IP addresses no matter if it's the primary or secondary VPN that's connected.
I know that Azure has fail over on it's side via a standby gateway, but I want fail over when on-premise is down, not Azure.
Update
I know that Azure has fail over on it's side via a standby gateway,
but I want fail over when on-premise is down, not Azure.
Unfortunately, there is not an auto solution for on-premise failover, you could manually perform, which is the same as If the on-premises gateway IP change need to update the same entry. You need to update the local network gateway (Including the On-premises gateway IP and private range ) on the Azure side and the ISP settings where VPN is connected on the on-premise side. Please expect some downtime, because IPSEC session of ISAKMP, PH1 and PH2 Will again take place.
Besides, If you have more than one ISP and need a redundant connection to the Azure. Azure now supports redundant Site to Site VPNs.
Support multiple tunnels between a VNet and an on-premises site with automatic failover based on BGP
You can establish multiple connections between your Azure VNet and
your on-premises VPN devices in the same location. This capability
provides multiple tunnels (paths) between the two networks in an
active-active configuration. If one of the tunnels is disconnected,
the corresponding routes will be withdrawn via BGP and the traffic
automatically shifts to the remaining tunnels.
The following diagram shows a simple example of this highly available setup:
NOTE
BGP is supported on Azure VpnGw1, VpnGw2, VpnGw3, Standard and HighPerformance VPN gateways. Basic SKU is NOT supported.
BGP is supported on Route-Based VPN gateways only.
I have a VM running a WebAPI service that I want to hit from an Azure web app using a vnet-to-vnet conneciton. As such, I have the VPNs configured as follows:
Virtual Machine - VMVnet
Address Space: 10.1.0.0/16
Subnet: 10.1.0.0/24
Gateway Subnet: 10.1.1.0/27
Private IP: 10.1.0.4
I also opened the target port up in Windows Firewall.
Web App - AppVnet
Address Space: 10.2.0.0/16
Subnet: 10.2.0.0/24
Gateway Subnet: 10.2.1.0/27
I also have Virtual Network Gateways configured for both, each with a connection going to the other.
Now, after I connect the app to AppVnet and sync the routes from the app service plan's networking section, I should be able to hit the VM using its private IP from the app code. When I try, I get the following error:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions
I also tried setting up Virtual Network Peering between the networks, but that didn't work either.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible with Azure web apps? I saw this question, which seemed like what I was looking for but the information in it is a bit lacking.
If not, I have tried this with a point-to-site configuration with the app connected to the VM's vnet, and it worked fine. Would it be preferable to set up a second nic on the VM using the AppVnet and connect all apps through that?
I'm just wondering why neither the vnet-to-vnet nor vnet peering works
with the web app
First of all, you need to know to Integrate your app with an Azure Virtual Network.
Here are some things to keep in mind before connecting your web app to
a virtual network:
If your target virtual network already exists, it must have point-to-site VPN enabled with a Dynamic routing gateway before it can
be connected to an app.
If your gateway already exists with point-to-site enabled, and it is not in the basic SKU, IKEV2 must be disabled in your point-to-site
configuration.
That is to say, you already have a P2S connection that you can connect to AppVnet from your App. If you want to connect to VMVnet through the AppVnet from your app, you can achieve it by gateway transit for virtual network peering in hub-and-spoke network architecture.
In the diagram, gateway transit allows the peered virtual networks to use the Azure VPN gateway in Hub-RM. In this case, your AppVnet is the Hub-RM. Your web app is the VPN client in a P2S VPN connection.
I am not sure that you real configuration in your side, but I guess your creating Vnet to Vnet connection is just like Hub-RM to Spoke-RM connection in the diagram, so it does not work. Setting up Vnet peering and gateway transit enabled, it should work. For more details about Configure VPN gateway transit for virtual network peering.
I have a virtual network on Azure and would like to establish a VPN connection using the encryption details and shared key that I have received. All the Azure documentation that I've found for point-to-site and site-to-site VPN setups seem to not cover this case, but only cover how an external router can connect to a VPN gateway which has been created on Azure. Is the set up that I want possible with Azure virtual networks or do I need to configure the VPN connection on each VM that I want on the VPN?
You need to create a VNet-to-VNet connection as per this article
