    Hi all,

    We have a customer who has an azure subscription, we configured azure site to site vpn for them between their azure and their on-premise vpn gateway (it is a Palo Alto device).

    The connection status shows as connected, now they told us that they disabled IPSec connectivity between their on-premise and Azure till we apply security in Azure (we do not know what they mean by that), however I still see the connection status as connected, so if IPSec is disabled, what could this affect? Note that we do not have yet any VMs on the azure and the customer wants us to upload VHD files to azure to create VMs from them and be reachable from the on-primes site.

    Hello Ahmad,

    Disabling IPsec in network can affect encrypt/decrypt process in network traffic and it will also affect authentication process between two nodes as IPsec is generally used to perform these tasks in intranet. In answer to your query about uploading VHD to Azure you can refer to this link for more detailed information.
