This is more one for curiosity and learning.

I currently have an Azure VM (Windows 2016 and SQL 2017) which I just use for R&D. The RDP port is enabled - no big deal as there is nothing top secret.

But just to learn more about Azure I wanted to create a VPN so I can connect via that. Googling, has left me a tad confused as how to go about this gateways, gateway subnet etc etc. I'm not sure if the articles I am reading are the right ones as whatever I try doesn't appear to work.

Does anyone know of any links that might help me start from scratch with VPN settings to connect?

You can try to set up a VPN type of P2S, you can make a Self-signed root certificate for free. And the steps are also simple. And you can follow the document Configure a Point-to-Site connection to a VNet using native Azure certificate authentication: Azure portal. I'm glad if this can help you.

  • This guide is not complete. I've followed it up to the client side, and it made no mention of how a VM fits into the picture. My VM is still totally accessible without using a VPN. – fei0x Mar 23 '22 at 19:45

I found these series of Microsoft training guides to be super helpful. (you can find them via the azure portal on the overview page of a virtual network resource)
