Some of our developers are having issues with speed due to recently cut undersea lines going from their country to our VM datacenter. My thought was to setup a new virtual network located in a different VM datacenter to bypass and reroute their traffic across a faster network, then from that faster network back to the VM location. In theory - basically, how it was previously setup was:
Phillipines to Hong Kong
The new setup would be
Phillipines to West Japan to Hong Kong
In Azure I have two Virtual Networks Gateways setup, one for Hong Kong and one for Japan. I have connected them together using the "Connections" setting, creating a connection to and from both to eachother.
I setup the the correct VPN keys - and downloaded the new client for the Japan VPN.
However, whenever I connect to the Japan VPN i am no longer able to remote desktop into the VM's located in Hong Kong. I dont appear to have any network security group settings that should be blocking this.
My Virtual Networks look like this:
VNHongKong Address Space: 10.1.0.0/24 10.10.0/16
VNHongKong Subnets 10.10.10.0/24 GatewaySubnet 10.10.1.0/14
VNJapan Address Space 10.2.0.0/24 10.20.0.0/16
VNHongKong Subnets 10.2.0.0/24 GatewaySubnet 10.20.1.0/24
I also have both the virtual networks above connected using a Virtual Network Gateway
Honestly - i'm not anywhere near an expert on this. So i have no idea where i'm messing up - i've followed some online tutorials but i'm stuck just trying to connect to the VMs now that the networks are connected. Please let me know if you need more info.
