# Transition to OpenVPN protocol or IKEv2 from SSTP
1313

A point-to-site (P2S) VPN gateway connection lets you create a secure connection to your virtual network from an individual client computer. A P2S connection is established by starting it from the client computer. This article applies to the [Resource Manager deployment model](../azure-resource-manager/management/deployment-models.md) and talks about ways to overcome the 128 concurrent connection limit of SSTP by transitioning to OpenVPN protocol or IKEv2.

This is the simplest option. SSTP and IKEv2 can coexist on the same gateway and give you a higher number of concurrent connections. You can simply enable IKEv2 on the existing gateway and redownload the client.

Adding IKEv2 to an existing SSTP VPN gateway won't affect existing clients and you can configure them to use IKEv2 in small batches or just configure the new clients to use IKEv2. If a Windows client is configured for both SSTP and IKEv2, it tries to connect using IKEV2 first and if that fails, it falls back to SSTP.

**IKEv2 uses non-standard UDP ports so you need to ensure that these ports are not blocked on the user's firewall. The ports in use are UDP 500 and 4500.**

> When you have both SSTP and IKEv2 enabled on the gateway, the point-to-site address pool will be statically split between the two, so clients using different protocols will be assigned IP addresses from either sub-range. Note that the maximum amount of SSTP clients is always 128, even if the address range is larger than /24 resulting in a bigger amount of addresses available for IKEv2 clients. For smaller ranges, the pool will be equally halved. Traffic Selectors used by the gateway may not include the point-to-site address range CIDR, but the two sub-range CIDRs.

Since SSTP and OpenVPN are both TLS-based protocol, they can't coexist on the same gateway. If you decide to move away from SSTP to OpenVPN, you'll have to disable SSTP and enable OpenVPN on the gateway. This operation causes the existing clients to lose connectivity to the VPN gateway until the new profile has been configured on the client.

You can enable OpenVPN along side with IKEv2 if you desire. OpenVPN is TLS-based and uses the standard TCP 443 port. To switch to OpenVPN, go to the "point-to-site configuration" tab under the Virtual Network Gateway in portal, and select **OpenVPN (SSL)** or **IKEv2 and OpenVPN (SSL)** from the drop-down box.
