My company is integrating with this company to enable us both consume services built on each other's platform to provide joint services extended to external users.
They recently sent me a file containing their VPN configuration with spaces provided to enter ours as well. Now I am not so savvy about VPNs plus our server is hosted in an Azure VM (windows server 2012 R2). I don't know if our hosting arrangement is VPN-ready by default. How am I supposed to go about this?
Any helpful articles or guidance is a welcome boon at this time.
PS.
My knowledge on networking is next to nothing. Just know the basest of things there.
there are two options to create the VPN to your cloud infrastructure:
1) By external services like OpenVPN - in that case, your involvement into what should be done will be to open some endpoints. Tutorials are available.
2) By internal service called Virtual Network. In that case, you should first place your VM to the Virtual Network, and then use tutorial. As the networking is a big topic, i would propose you to read the official tutorial instead of putting that information here.
So, basically, to get your VM ready for the VPN, you should:
1) Create Virtual Network
2) Place the VM into that VN
3) Configure both cloud and local gateways
4) Install the VPN client.

Hi i was discussing the "on premises data-gateway" with a colleague and we where discussing whether the gateway had to be installed in every instance of a on premises system or it only had to be installed in one throughout the network for the system.
We had some different understanding regarding the documentation specified.
He understood it that installing it on a test server/instance it would be able to reach a database in another "virtual" system in that server.
I had the one understanding that it should be installed in every virtual system where you have a DB you want to reach?
Is there any clarification around this that we have missed?
Hope i made myself somewhat clear on what i'm asking? And please excuse the question if its written in clear text somewhere, we both must have missed it, if so sorry for that...
as per document although intended for analysis services, which is practically the same with other services as well,
source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-gateway
The on-premise data gateway needs to be installed for each instance of Azure Analysis Services server. In short, if you have two servers that connects to on-premise data sources, you will need two data gateway as well.
In this premise, we both have the same understanding that it needs to be installed for each instance that you need to connect.

I am currently living at the student homes to my university. I want to set up a NAS / server to run backups, VM and some other small task. This is also something I want to set up to learn more about Linux and networking. I am currently planning how to set it up and what hardware to buy, but I want to run arch Linux on it with RAID 1. A problem I'm thinking about is that I don't have access to the router and therefore I can't set up port forwarding to connect to the server. Is there a way to get remote access to it without adjusting the settings in the router?
At my University we have the ability to connect to a vpn so we can access services only available through a specific University IP.
I haven't tested this method but I believe it could work.
Set up your services like normal and configure them to use port 80 if they need any data from the outside.
Make a script, probably available somewhere, to send you your internally ip address on e.g. mail.
That way you can use your schools VPN service to connect to the lan and from there you can access an internal ip address(your server).
This all depends on this VPN service and if you are connected to the same network.
#iporSircor commented on a method you can use. It's basically the same as what I wrote, but instead of connecting to schools VPN you will connect to your own VPN(server).
Test it out and let us know what method you used, what worked, what didn't.
And also you should talk to your school to find out if using Tor or even setting up a server on their network is allowed.

I am trying to create two VMs, one WS2012 and second Win8.1. I want them to be able to connect to each other through cloud only virtual network.
When I am creating VMs I dont see my virtual network. All their locations(south central US) are same.
This is what I used to create VNet - article.
Pretty much keeping everything default except for location.
UPDATE:
Turns out it was an issues of subscriptions getting mixed up. I am co-admin on other two subscriptions, and seems like my network and VM were created in different subscriptions hence I could not see my network in the drop down when I was creating the VM.
Probably because you are creating the VMs using the quick create button instead of using From Gallery.
Navigate New >> Compute >> Virtual Machine >> From Gallery.
Follow the wizard and select your Virtual Network. Deploy both VMs on the same Vnet and you should have direct connectivity.

Is it possible to have multiple websites load balanced with traffic manager on say 2 or more webserver vm's in Azure? and if so, how does traffic manager get setup so that it can monitor each website service as opposed to the server itself?
It seems like it can only monitor the port on the webserver, so this implies that traffic manager will only work if one website is running on each webserver.
Can someone clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance.
It depends on what you mean by webserver. Windows Azure Traffic Manager (WATM) is intended for 2 different deployments in 2 different datacenters. Using WATM you can achieve your goal. The setup would be like:
www.myapp1.com -> myapp1.trafficmanager.net -> {endpoints in multiple datacenters}:{port for myapp1 health probe}
www.myapp2.com -> myapp2.trafficmanager.net -> {the same endpoints as myapp1}:{port for myapp2 health probe}
However, if you are referring to 2 webservers as in 2 different VMs in the same datacenter then you would just add them both to load balancer set and configure the LB probes for each site.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Browsing around on the internet I found out that it had been put on the roadmap but that was quite a way back. Has anyone achieved this? It seems odd that such a big player in the hosting industry doesn't offer this, as AWS does.
Also, I'm talking about reverse dns on virtual machines not the ip addresses of cloud services. I assumed it was something to do on the configuration of the linux machine, since the virtual machines have root access I thought this may have been possible, although struggling to find info on it.
It looks like Reverse DNS feature is planned but I was not able to find more details on any timeline / planned release date.
You can find out more on those features on Provide Reverse DNS for the Azure Virtual Machines as well as reverse DNS lookup proposals on Windows Azure Feature Voting website.
EDIT
As pointed out by #franzo, Windows Azure platform now support reverse DNS records at no additional cost. Reverse DNS support is for all PaaS and IaaS Cloud Services. You can find out more about that feature on Announcing: Reverse DNS for Azure Cloud Services.
