Home Office Solution during the COVID-19 Pandemic using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway
In this real world-based project, I acted as a Cloud Specialist to create a solution for people who were working in the office to start working from home, normally accessing the environment in Microsoft Azure, and without exposing the entire environment to the internet.
To solve this business problem and come up with a solution compatible with the requirements, I defined that it was necessary to implement Point-to-Site (P2S) VPNs, so that employees who were working from home would close an encrypted tunnel between their computer and the Microsoft Azure environment.

Certificate
In Point-to-Site configuration, you need to provide a certificate, and after registering it, you can download the VPN client.
In case you don’t have a certificate, you can create one by following these steps.
To connect to the VPN, simply install the ‘client’ certificate generated and install and run the VPN client provided by Azure. =)
