# Configure a VNet-to-VNet VPN gateway connection - Azure portal
1313

14-
This article helps you connect virtual networks (VNets) by using the VNet-to-VNet connection type using the Azure portal. The virtual networks can be in different regions and from different subscriptions. When you connect VNets from different subscriptions, the subscriptions don't need to be associated with the same tenant. This type of configuration creates a connection between two virtual network gateways. This article doesn't apply to VNet peering. For VNet peering, see the [Virtual Network peering](../virtual-network/virtual-network-peering-overview.md) article.

Configuring a VNet-to-VNet connection is a simple way to connect VNets. When you connect a virtual network to another virtual network with a VNet-to-VNet connection type (VNet2VNet), it's similar to creating a Site-to-Site IPsec connection to an on-premises location. Both connection types use a VPN gateway to provide a secure tunnel with IPsec/IKE and function the same way when communicating. However, they differ in the way the local network gateway is configured.

When you create a VNet-to-VNet connection, the local network gateway address space is automatically created and populated. If you update the address space for one VNet, the other VNet automatically routes to the updated address space. It's typically faster and easier to create a VNet-to-VNet connection than a Site-to-Site connection. However, the local network gateway isn't visible in this configuration.

If you're working with a complicated network configuration, you might prefer to connect your VNets by using a [Site-to-Site connection](./tutorial-site-to-site-portal.md) instead. When you follow the Site-to-Site IPsec steps, you create and configure the local network gateways manually. The local network gateway for each VNet treats the other VNet as a local site. These steps allow you to specify more address spaces for the local network gateway to route traffic. If the address space for a VNet changes, you must manually update the corresponding local network gateway.

This article shows you how to connect VNets by using the VNet-to-VNet connection type. When you follow these steps as an exercise, you can use the following example settings values. In the example, the virtual networks are in the same subscription, but in different resource groups. If your VNets are in different subscriptions, you can't create the connection in the portal. Use [PowerShell](vpn-gateway-vnet-vnet-rm-ps.md) or [CLI](vpn-gateway-howto-vnet-vnet-cli.md) instead. For more information about VNet-to-VNet connections, see [VNet-to-VNet FAQ](#vnet-to-vnet-faq).

After you've configured VNet1, create VNet4 and the VNet4 gateway by repeating the previous steps and replacing the values with VNet4 values. You don't need to wait until the virtual network gateway for VNet1 has finished creating before you configure VNet4. If you're using your own values, make sure the address spaces don't overlap with any of the VNets to which you want to connect.

You can create either a bidirectional, or single direction connection. For this exercise, we'll specify a bidirectional connection. The bidirectional connection value creates two separate connections so that traffic can flow in both directions.
