A VPN gateway allows you to create a secure connection between your on-premises network and your VNet. This allows you to access resources in your VNet from your on-premises network, and vice versa. A NAT gateway allows you to access the internet from your VNet. This allows resources in your VNet to communicate with resources on the internet, but it does not allow resources on the internet to access resources in your VNet.
What is the purpose of a firewall in cloud networking?
-
To protect your VNet from unauthorized access
-
To provide a public IP address to a virtual machine
-
To allow virtual machines in different VNet's to communicate with each other
