I want to use a Point-2-Site VPN in a productive environment.
There are three questions:
How can I achieve that the VPN automatically connects (e.g. after a server reboot)?
In the Azure FAQ is the answer but I can't find the place where to configure that.
FAQ: If I restart a client computer configured for point-to-site, will the VPN automatically reconnect?
By default, the client computer will not reestablish the VPN connection automatically. However, you can change this setting in the VPN client properties to allow the client to automatically reconnect.
The second question is quite similar:
What happens when the VPN disconnects? I definitely need an automatically reconnect.
Last thing: Name resolution
With Azure Connect it was possible to use an "Endpoint". That means a web or worker role could address this endpoint and doesn't need to know the actual IP address. Now, I want to access an on premise server from my worker role by using the Point-to-Site VPN, but therefore I need the IP address which might change randomly. Any ideas how to resolve this?
Thank you in advance!
