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?

- 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 - Others have tried an ran into the same issues: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f3bfacf5-14dd-44a2-afbc-0407ddab216c/vpn-on-a-vm-with-windows-server-2012-r2-on-azure?forum=WAVirtualMachinesVirtualNetwork
For the record, RRAS is not supported in Azure, check the following link:
