Thanks for the reply.

I have a basic Netgear home router. Is it possible to create a S2S VPN between my local win10 pc and azure win10 VM?

it seems complicated now. the document link you have shared has a prerequisite of VPN device which i dont have.

please suggest.

Thanks.

Hello Mainul,

I afraid that you cannot use your windows 10 machine for S2S VPN and you are right the article that I have provide you discuss a VPN device, however I should note that a windows server machine with RRAS role installed can be used as a supported VPN device for S2S VPN connectivity.

 

However, I believe that in your case it will be complicated to put this configuration in place taking into consideration the configuration requirements despite that you can install RRAS windows server machine as a VM on the windows 10 machine :

- 2 Networks on the windows 10 and RRAS machine

- NAT traffic configuration on the netgear router

- Dedicated Subnet for the serial to IP device.

 

for your reference check the following article for S2S VPN with RRAS configuration details

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have tried to create a RRAS server.

    I have installed virtualbox and created a windows2016 VM in my win10 pc. Installed RRAS role and configured it. My win10 pc, RRAS server and serial over IP device all are getting IP from my home router.

    AT Home:::::::::::::

    Home router  subnet: 10.0.0.0/24

    My win10 pc: 10.0.0.10

    RRAS server: 10.0.0.7 (bridged adaptor from virtualbox)

    Serial over IP device: 10.0.0.20

    At Azure side:::::::::::::

    Address space: 10.10.0.0/16

    Subnet: 10.10.1.0/24

    gateway subnet: 10.10.0.0/28

    Win10 VM private IP: 10.10.1.6

     

    Now I can see connected from RRAS and from Azure side.

    I can ping and RDP from win2016(RRAS) server to win10 azure VM with private IP(10.10.1.6). I can also ping from azure vo to RRAS win2016 server(10.0.0.7)

    But I can not ping OR RDP from my host win10 pc to azure VM private IP.

    I can not ping from azure vo to serial over IP device. 

    The only communication (ping + RDP) happening between RRAS server and azure win10 VM.

    Even though my local host win10 pc and the serial over IP device in the same subnet 10.0.0.0/24 they have NO communication with azure VM. But I need to access the serial over IP device from azure VM. seems like I am very close.

    Please help me with your valuable suggestion.  

     

    Thank you.
