Create Point-to-Site VPN - Enables secure Point-to-Site (P2S) communication between a virtual private network in Azure and local resources. P2S is used by individuals and small groups for remote connectivity. A Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN gateway connection lets you create a secure connection to your VPN from an individual client computer. A P2S connection is established by starting it from the client computer. This solution is useful for telecommuters who want to connect to Azure VNets from a remote location, such as from home or a conference. P2S VPN is also a useful solution to use instead of S2S VPN when you have only a few clients that need to connect to a virtual network.
Create Site-to-Site VPN - Site-to-site (S2S) is normally used by organizations that want greater control between on-premise and cloud resources using a VPN gateway. A S2S VPN gateway connection is used to connect your on-premises network to an Azure virtual network over an IPsec/IKE (IKEv1 or IKEv2) VPN tunnel. This type of connection requires a VPN device located on-premises that has an externally facing public IP address assigned to it. For more information about VPN gateways, see About VPN gateway and Create and manage S2S VPN connections using PowerShell. NOTE: May require the help of a Network Administrator or similar role to setup a secure Gateway.
