We have recently moved all of our on-premise servers to Azure and looking to really close down any reliance upon our on-premise infrastructure. We are aware that we can set up Azure VPN and use it to access any of our new servers/infrastructure in an the Azure Cloud.
However, there is one specific special use case that we haven't been able to find info on via the various online resources. As a technology services company, we often need to access external resources available in the cloud/over the internet. It is pretty common for our clients to whitelist the IP Address for our office. When staff work remote, they VPN into our office network then open up connections to external resources (web sites, servers, portals etc.) and to those external systems it always looks like they are coming from our office.
Now that we have moved all of our infrastructure to Azure VPN, we would prefer to stop using the Office Firewall & VPN for this purpose. Effectively, we would like our staff to VPN to connect to an Azure Cloud VPN, then connect to the external resources. In trying to verify what is possible/reasonable with Azure VPN, all articles seem to focus on inbound connections accessing resources on our Azure Account.
Can anyone verify or share details about whether it is an appropriate use case to have our staff VPN into an Azure VPN, then connect to external resources and have a common/consistent IP address we can use for whitelisting?
Thanks for your thoughts/help!
