How do I setup Azure Site To Site VPN on a local windows 10 PC?


I have followed this excellent guide by BTNHD on youtube on setting up a VPN to a virtual network on Azure. Unfortunately the (local part of the) demo demonstrates connecting from a windows server 2022 VM, and I cannot figure out how this applies to the windows 10 way of connecting to a VPN, and if it is actually possible.

I need to connect locally to azure db's and storage that are setup with private endpoints on an Azure vNet

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • As per MsDoc Remote Access Infrastructure applies to Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016

    Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) is a server role primarily designed for Windows Server systems. As of now, RRAS is not supported on Windows 10. This means configuring RRAS directly on a Windows 10 machine is not a viable option.

    Creating a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN between your local machine and Azure is not possible unless you have a VPN device. so, you can install a Windows server on your machine or use a VPN device for the S2S VPN setup to use RRAS and set up a Site-to-Site VPN, you may need to install Windows Server on your local machine. You can obtain an evaluation version from the Microsoft Evaluation. & Hardware requirements for Windows Server installations.

    As per your comments you can go with Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN allows you to connect to Azure resources from a single computer over the internet.
