How to Connect to my Azure VPN to my GLiNet Router

Hi @James Ayling , I understand that you've created a VPN connection between your router and Azure. You are asking what to do next.

VPN is connecting your site (behind your router) with Azure virtual network through an encrypted tunnel. Your site and Azure virtual network can communicate to each other using private IP addresses.

A few ideas to try:

• Since you've had VPN connection between your router and Azure, you must have a virtual network in Azure with a GatewaySubnet. Next step is to create another subnet in the same virtual network, then create an Azure Virtual Machine (Windows or Linux). With VPN in place, you can connect to your Azure Virtual Machine using its private IP address (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x, depending on your virtual network IP address space). Your VM does not need a public IP address.
• You can also access any resource in your virtual network using private IP address, for example if you have a storage account (blob container) with private endpoint, you can use Azure Storage Explorer to use the IP address of the private endpoint. You can configure the storage account to block all access through the public endpoint when you're using private endpoints.
