Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Virtual Networks, ExpressRoute, and VPN Gateway

An organization needs to allow remote employees to securely connect to an Azure Virtual Network from their individual home computers. Is the statement that a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connection is the correct configuration to enable these individual client connections true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The correct answer is False because a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connection is designed to connect an entire on-premises network (like a branch office) to Azure, requiring an on-premises VPN hardware device. For individual remote employees connecting from their home computers, a Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN connection is the correct configuration.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the connectivity requirements of the scenario.
Individual remote users (home computers) need to connect securely to an Azure Virtual Network.
Understanding the nature of the connection points (individual devices vs. entire sites) is crucial to selecting the right VPN configuration.
2
Compare Site-to-Site (S2S) and Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN architectures.
S2S connects entire sites using an on-premises VPN device, while P2S allows individual client computers to connect over the internet using client-based VPN software.
This determines which service matches the requirement of individual client connections.
3
Evaluate the statement in the prompt.
The statement claims S2S is the correct configuration for individual client connections, which contradicts the fact that P2S is the correct configuration.
Determining the truth value of the statement.
