Point-to-Site (P2S) solutions
Here are few of the possible solutions to continue to use the Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN feature with your cloud environment running on Performance Cloud powered by VMware and the latest NSX platform.
Deploy a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA)
Using a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA) like Fortigate, pfSense, SonicWall in your infrastructure, you can benefit from included features with the virtual appliance. Here is the procedure to deploy a NVA with Performance Cloud VMware (NSX-T).
Deploy OpenVPN using pfSense
A standalone OpenVPN server using a pfSense virtual machine can be deployed in the cloud environment to add the Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN feature. For more information about deploying this solution in your cloud environment, please see this article.
Deploy WireGuard
Another solution is WireGuard. WireGuard can easily be deployed in a Linux virtual machine to add the Point-to-Site (P2S) tunnel feature to your cloud environment. For more information about deploying WireGuard in your cloud environment, please see this article.
