This allows remote workers to safely access business apps and sensitive customer information from home. P2S VPN tunnels are temporary, and can open or close as required, when employees log on and off from the corporate network.  Site-to-Site VPN works quite differently. It also creates a tunnel, but the tunnel is always active and optimized for large volumes of data.

These permanent tunnels can send large volumes of encrypted information back and forth between two or more corporate networks. An example of two sites that need to communicate this way could be a head office in New York communicating with a satellite branch in LA, or two corporate head offices in Europe and Asia exchanging information. Which of these products makes sense for you will depend on your business needs.

Some gateways can handle Site-to-Site connections, while others are designed for Point-to-Site. How many connections a gateway can handle and what type varies by provider. Many VPN providers charge a flat fee per VPN gateway, and an additional per-hour cost based on usage.

How much does Azure VPN cost Azure's pricing is per hour and based on the size of the VPN gateway you need. Gateways can create Site-to-Site and Point-to-Site tunnels.  For P2S connections, remember that the number of tunnels can fluctuate throughout the day, as various devices connect and disconnect.

There are no guarantees for response time on support tickets on the Basic tier, and Basic support customers are last in line behind all paying support plan holders. Limited free support is normal for cloud VPN providers, and Azure stands out by simply having a free support option that isn't entirely self-service.

Its scalable pricing, with no upfront fees for gateways, and 99% uptime on P2S systems, allows for an impressive degree of flexibility when building a P2S, S2S, or hybrid solution. Azure's customer support options are limited and expensive, but this is normal for a cloud VPN provider. If you need encrypted access for remote employees, or want to securely connect a set of remote networks together, Microsoft Azure VPN is a robust option.
