    My main problem with Always On vpn connections via Azure Virtual Network is , All Azure VNG skus only permit 128 connections for SSL \ SSTP.

    Defending on the size of your organisation and if 128 SSL connections will suffice then great, If not a travelling sales person will most likely not be able to connect to their Always On VPN connection using iKev2 as the hotel Wi Fi , blocks this protocol and ports.

     

    COSTS

     

    • It depend on how far your organisation is on their cloud journey. If there are on-premise firewall decencies, then another option , could be to use Intune to application package with a transform file or config switch, eg. Palo Alto, Fortinet , Cisco, Checkpoint firewall client so that, remote clients can connect seamlessly when the vpn client is deployed via Intune
    • Ingres - egress, costs are very minimal when using Always On.
    • If using Azure Files and you select , Azure Premium Storage there is no ingress and egress charges

    Hope this helps
