Question

Difficulty: EasyAzure Virtual Networks, ExpressRoute, and VPN Gateway

A team is establishing a connection between their physical office and an Azure Virtual Network. They require a connection that does not traverse the public internet. Is the following statement true? A VPN Gateway connection is the correct choice to meet this requirement.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The correct answer is False because a VPN Gateway establishes an encrypted tunnel over the public internet. The requirement specifically demands a connection that does not traverse the public internet, which can only be satisfied by using ExpressRoute.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the connectivity requirements specified in the scenario.
The scenario requires a connection between a physical office and Azure that does not travel over the public internet.
This helps identify which network services are eligible.
2
Evaluate how VPN Gateway routes network traffic.
A VPN Gateway creates an encrypted tunnel, but this tunnel runs over the public internet.
To determine if the statement is true or false.
3
Compare with ExpressRoute capabilities.
ExpressRoute provides a private, dedicated connection that bypasses the public internet entirely.
To confirm that ExpressRoute, not VPN Gateway, is the correct service.

Key Concept

Azure VPN Gateway routes traffic over the public internet, whereas ExpressRoute bypasses it.
