Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. It explicitly recommends Windows Server's RRAS as a default option for on-premises VPN appliances, mentioning it before any Linux alternatives. The only specific appliance configuration guidance links to Windows Server documentation, with no mention of Linux-based VPN solutions (such as strongSwan, Openswan, or Libreswan). Throughout the page, PowerShell examples are provided in full parity with Azure CLI, but the narrative and troubleshooting steps often reference PowerShell cmdlets first. The mounting instructions do link out to Linux and macOS guides, but the core VPN appliance configuration is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention common Linux VPN appliances (e.g., strongSwan, Openswan, Libreswan) as alternatives to Windows RRAS in the prerequisites and configuration sections.
- Provide links to Azure's tested Linux VPN device documentation, or include example configuration steps for a popular Linux VPN appliance.
- When referencing how to obtain the public IP address of the VPN gateway, include Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and verification steps are presented with both PowerShell and Azure CLI commands, and avoid defaulting to Windows tools.
- Consider adding a short section or note on cross-platform considerations for on-premises VPN appliances, highlighting both Windows and Linux options.
