Is Azure network supports VPN PPTP, L2TP, IKE2?

I have installed VM in Azure and installed RRAS role with VPN, NAT feature. For test purpose I have opened all ports on NSG and on server. From remote client/Win10 I tried to use differents VPN profile to connect but failed with all PPTP, L2TP, IKE2.

The supported way to set up VPN to Azure is by using Azure VPN Gateways:

- Hi. Thanks for fast reply. I know about it. But for testing purpose I would like to have Azure VM with VPN role installed and have possibility to connect from remote client using publis VM ip, different VPN protocols. As I saw in other blogs PPTP is blocked in Azure because GRE is not supported, only TCP and UDP, I saw manual about how to setup L2TP/IPsec but my try was failed. Also somebody did SSTP but I failed yet, due to some certificated issues. I just wanted to ask community who tried also like this?
//Alexander- PPTP and L2TP require GRE, which is not available on Azure, and thus they will not work.
But IKEv2 and SSTP work. You will need a paid certificate though in IIS
C:> netsh ras show sstp-ssl-cert
