When setting up a hybrid cloud scenario with Azure, do you get stuck trying to configure your security system with an Azure VPN?  This is one of the most common Azure Support scenarios that we get.  I wanted to share with you this recommended approach with step-by-step guidance to help you plan and configure your specific security appliance. 

 

Step 1: Plan and design your VPN connection

  • Route-based (previously called dynamic routing gateway)

 

Step 2: Configure your site-to-site VPN connection
