It is possible to connect to a SQL Server in Azure through a VPN using Azure Data Factory. However, you may need to configure additional settings to ensure the VPN and Azure Data Factory are properly connected.
One option to consider is using a Virtual Network (VNet) integration for your Azure Data Factory. This would allow your Data Factory to access resources within your VPN. You can follow the steps outlined in this Azure documentation to set up VNet integration: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-azure-integration-runtime#virtual-network-vnet-integration
Another option is to create a self-hosted integration runtime (IR) within your VPN. This would allow your Data Factory to access your SQL Server and other resources within your VPN. You can follow the steps outlined in this Azure documentation to set up a self-hosted IR: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime
In both cases, it's important to ensure that the necessary ports are open within your VPN to allow communication between Azure Data Factory and your SQL Server. You may need to work with your network administrator to ensure that the necessary firewall rules are in place.
