Solved: VM with public IP route to Cloud VPN - Page 2

rvenus · 01-04-2024 09:59 PM

We recently have a requirements wherein a VM with public and private VM will pass thru cloudVPN going to endpoint. The public IP of the VM should advertise on the endpoint instead of the private IP. Is this possible with Google Cloud Platform?

Because usually when you pass thru VPN the private IP is being advertise in the endpoint

We ask this question as we have a request wherein we have to use a Non-RFC 1918 IP address passing thru site to site VPN.

Thank you

Normally, when you set up a VPN in Google Cloud, it tells the other end about the private IP of your virtual machine. But if you want it to share the public IP instead, you'll have to do some extra steps, like using a Network Address Translation (NAT) solution.

In typical VPN configurations, the private IP address is commonly advertised at the endpoint. However, your specific request involves using a Non-RFC 1918 IP address when passing through a site-to-site VPN

To achieve this, you may need to employ a combination of features such as Cloud NAT and necessary routing configuration.

Hope this answers your question.
