But they don't help at all with an on prem client trying to connect to Azure SQL. That connection still happens via the on prem client's public IP. You might look at ExpressRoute public peering (instead of site-to-site VPN) or Azure SQL DB Managed Instance (which does support connecting over site-to-site VPN). – GregGalloway Mar 6 '18 at 6:26

Azure VPN Gateway connects your on-premises networks to Azure through Site-to-Site VPNs in a similar way that you set up and connect to a remote branch office. The connectivity is secure and uses the industry-standard protocols Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). Azure uses certificates to authenticate VPN clients for Point-to-Site VPNs. You upload the public key information of the root certificate to Azure. The public key is then considered trusted. Each client computer that connects to a VNet using Point-to-Site must have a client certificate installed. You generate a client certificate from the self-signed root certificate, and then export and install the client certificate. If the client certificate is not installed, authentication fails. Azure VPN Gateway enables you to establish secure, cross-premises connectivity between your virtual network within Azure and on-premises IT infrastructure. A VPN client configuration. The VPN client configuration files contain the necessary information for the client to connect to the VNet. The files configure the existing VPN client that is native to the operating system. Each client that connects must be configured using the settings in the configuration files. The VPN client address pool is the range from which the VPN clients receive an IP address when connecting. Use a private IP address range that does not overlap with the on-premises location that you connect from, or with the VNet that you want to connect to. In this example, the VPN client address pool is declared as a variable in Step 1.

Hi I have an Azure domain environment(no-onprem) and have some users on a dissimilar domain that connect to it using the point-to-site VPN to access file shares. The site-to-site VPNs work fine. The problem is they get disconnected from the point-to-site vpns sporadically throughout the day.

This guide provides a method for deploying the Azure P2S VPN client without the need for User local admin rights, it is installed with admin rights on the computer and is able to be used by all users on the workstation (assuming they have a valid user certificate as per standard Azure P2S configuration). Hi I have an Azure domain environment(no-onprem) and have some users on a dissimilar domain that connect to it using the point-to-site VPN to access file shares. The site-to-site VPNs work fine. The problem is they get disconnected from the point-to-site vpns sporadically throughout the day. Extend your Azure Virtual Network to remote users and other sites using OpenVPN Access Server Create hub-and-spoke, mesh, or other network topology to interconnect all your sites together with Azure Use SSL/TLS site to site VPN as a backup route for your IPSec and ExpressRoute connectivity Now, Azure P2S VPN can be configured on iOS. How to: iOS VPN clients are supported for the Resource Manager deployment model only. They are not supported for the classic deployment model. Note IKEv2 is currently in Preview. When installing a client certificate, you need the password that was created when the client certificate was exported.

Before you can remote desktop to your DC in Azure, you need to launch the Azure VPN Client and wait for it to connect successfully. Once the VPN is connected, you can use Remote Desktop to connect to your DC in Azure via its IP Address (10.0.0.4 in our example).
