I use microsoft azure virtual network with a VPN gateway, I want to connect to a checkpoint site to site VPN.
The other party asks what is my VPN device name. Which I dont have an answer to. Are they asking a brand name?
Azure portal says VPN type: route based. But it does not show a device name anywhere. How to solve this? thanks a lot in advance.
The other party asks what is my VPN device name.
Azure VPN gateway does not provide VPN device name, you could give your VPN gateway Public IP Address to checkpoint manager.
More information about how to create site-to-site VPN between Azure and checkpoint please refer to this link.
Also, you could create site-to-to VPN by using Azure Portal, please refer to this link.

I am trying to implement a azure vpn to have a better understanding of the functionality of this resource.
Following azure documentation here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/openvpn-azure-ad-tenant
I am able to create all the resources and configure the azure vpn client.
I Downloaded the client and azure vpn, and imported the xml file and tried to connect.
Everything worked fine as I was able to login with my azure credential and connect to the vpn.
But here is the bit that I am a bit confused about.
Once the vpn established the connection, I got a IP address. so I thought that if I go on google to check my IP address, I would get the vpn address, but what I am seeing is my personal ip.
So maybe somebody can help me to understand how can I make sure that the vpn I am connecting to is actually working and generating a tunnel connection from my pc to azure AAD?
Please if my question Is not 100% clear, just ask for more information.
Thank you very much for your help
Azure P2S VPN connections do not support forced tunnelling so you will still be routing to the Internet from your local public IP address and not via Azure.
For testing, if you deploy a private resource in Azure such as a virtual machine then you should be able to access it via it's private IP address to confirm your VPN is working correctly.
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
TLDR;
I got Azure credits, how do I make a simple VPN?
I recently got some Azure credits through a hackathon. How do I create a simple VPN on Azure. It need not be too feature rich, I just wanna use it to access blocked or region specific websites.
I saw on Azure portal that there is virtual machine and virtual network. I don't exactly need a VM, just want to redirect all network traffic through the virtual network.
How do I do this in Azure, Has anyone done anything similar in Azure?
Free VPN are slow and have bugs and paid VPN are expensive & I would like to use my azure credits to create my own VPN.
It sounds like you want to use Azure VPN similar to a consumer VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN which protects your client while you surf the Internet. Azure VPN is not designed to be used to surf the Internet. Azure VPN is a service that allows you to create a secure Site-to-Site or Point-to-Site VPN into an Azure Vnet. This allows you to communicate securely with resources in Azure without exposing them with a Public IP.
A VPN gateway is a specific type of virtual network gateway that is used to send encrypted traffic between an Azure virtual network and an on-premises location over the public Internet. You can also use a VPN gateway to send encrypted traffic between Azure virtual networks over the Microsoft network
I am prototyping mounting a azure blob storge account as NFS drive, part of it i have configured as it specified in the following docs, however i don't have success with site to point vpn solution

i would like to try "An on-premises network that is connected to your primary VNet by using VPN Gateway or an ExpressRoute gateway"
to try this do i need additional configuration on my home router? my ISP assigned with a static IP. What additional networking configurations are needed so that i can connect azure blob storage over NFS via express route?
From supported network connections for NFS3.0, it should work by using a VPN gateway or an ExpressRoute gateway from an on-premise network.
If you are using point to site VPN connection, you could reference from tunneling traffic over a virtual private network or ExpressRoute to configure a private endpoint and enable a service endpoint for your storage account in that VPN VNet, refer here. When you use When you create a private endpoint, ensure that your client could resolve the Azure storage account FQDN to a private IP address, for this, you need to configure DNS on your environment.
I want to be able to provision Azure VMs and attach them to on-premise AD. I have read the Azure documentation and there is a requirement for a site-to-site VPN connection.In my case, having a VPN device is not feasible. Would it be possible to do the same with a point-to-site VPN connection? I haven't seen any guidance on the Azure website regarding the same.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-install-replica-active-directory-domain-controller/
While I haven't considered using Point-to-site where my point would be my whole on-premises network, I can assure you that you do not need a special VPN device to make Site-to-Site VPN with Azure.
