Hello Everyone today I will tell you how you can connect your Client computer network with Azure Network .

To connect two different network you have to follow VPN technology . In azure if you want to connect two Azure Network then you have to do either Vnet peering or Vnet to Vnet and if you want to connect on prem network with Azure then you have to either Site to Site or Point to Site.

Today I will talk about Point to Site VPN .

“A Point-to-Site (P2S) configuration lets you create a secure connection from an individual client computer to a virtual network. P2S is a VPN connection over SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol). Point-to-Site connections are useful when you want to connect to your VNet from a remote location, such as from home or a conference, or when you only have a few clients that need to connect to a virtual network. P2S connections do not require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address. You establish the VPN connection from the client computer. ” – taken from Microsoft Site .

What you Need :

For Root Certificate :

$cert = New-SelfSignedCertificate -Type Custom -KeySpec Signature `
-Subject “CN=P2SRootCert” -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
-HashAlgorithm sha256 -KeyLength 2048 `
-CertStoreLocation “Cert:\CurrentUser\My” -KeyUsageProperty Sign -KeyUsage CertSign

For Client Certificate : 

New-SelfSignedCertificate -Type Custom -DnsName P2SChildCert -KeySpec Signature `
-Subject “CN=P2SChildCert” -KeyExportPolicy Exportable `
-HashAlgorithm sha256 -KeyLength 2048 `
-CertStoreLocation “Cert:\CurrentUser\My” `
-Signer $cert -TextExtension @(“2.5.29.37={text}1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2”)
