Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. It explicitly recommends Windows Server RRAS as the default on-premises VPN appliance if none exists, mentioning it before any Linux alternatives. The only specific on-premises appliance configuration guidance is for Windows Server, with no mention of Linux-based VPN solutions (e.g., StrongSwan, Openswan, Libreswan, or VyOS). While Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are provided in parallel, PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is given equal prominence, and some steps (such as retrieving the public IP address) only show PowerShell commands. The mounting instructions do link out to Linux and macOS guides, but the main VPN configuration narrative is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux-based VPN appliances (e.g., StrongSwan, Openswan, Libreswan, VyOS) as viable on-premises options alongside Windows RRAS.
- Provide links or example configuration steps for a popular Linux VPN appliance (such as StrongSwan) in the 'Configure on-premises network appliance' section.
- When referencing PowerShell commands, also provide equivalent Azure CLI or bash commands for Linux users, especially for steps like retrieving the public IP address.
- In the prerequisites, avoid suggesting Windows Server RRAS as the default option; instead, present both Windows and Linux options equally.
- Consider adding a short table or section comparing common Windows and Linux VPN appliance choices, with links to official configuration guides.
