#Azure point to site vpn client mac windows#
Active Directory authentication was limited to only Windows clients, but we’ve just announced a public preview of this capability for macOS.
Microsoft Azure point-to-site connections support Azure certificate authentication, authentication with a RADIUS server, or Azure Active Directory authentication with the OpenVPN(r) protocol. But you can also set up a point to site VPN between just one device and Azure – especially useful for laptops and staff who travel or work from home.Įstablishing a VPN connection requires some sort of authentication method – commonly a certificate or a username & password. At scale, a site-to-site VPN can be configured to the internet router used by an office (or home office) so the VPN connection can be used by all the devices on that network. Virtual private networks are often used to encrypt traffic between a device and Azure using a private tunnel over the public internet – especially for information and systems you don’t want to be made available to the public or open to the possibility of being captured and read. Whether you are using Microsoft Azure for development, for production workloads, or for both, it’s important to consider the security of the connections to those cloud systems.
