# Configure a site-to-site VPN for use with Azure Files
1212

You can use a site-to-site (S2S) VPN connection to mount your Azure file shares from your on-premises network, without sending data over the open internet. You can set up a S2S VPN using [Azure VPN Gateway](../../vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-about-vpngateways.md), which is an Azure resource offering VPN services, and is deployed in a resource group alongside storage accounts or other Azure resources.

- An Azure file share you would like to mount on-premises. Azure file shares are deployed within storage accounts, which are management constructs that represent a shared pool of storage in which you can deploy multiple file shares, as well as other storage resources, such as blobs or queues. You can learn more about how to deploy Azure file shares and storage accounts in [Create an Azure file share](storage-how-to-create-file-share.md).

- A private endpoint for the storage account containing the Azure file share you want to mount on-premises. To learn how to create a private endpoint, see [Configuring Azure Files network endpoints](storage-files-networking-endpoints.md?tabs=azure-portal).

- A network appliance or server in your on-premises data center that's compatible with Azure VPN Gateway. Azure Files is agnostic of the on-premises network appliance chosen, but Azure VPN Gateway maintains a [list of tested devices](../../vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-about-vpn-devices.md). Different network appliances offer different features, performance characteristics, and management functionalities, so consider these when selecting a network appliance.

If you don't have an existing network appliance, Windows Server contains a built-in Server Role, Routing and Remote Access (RRAS), which can be used as the on-premises network appliance. To learn more about how to configure Routing and Remote Access in Windows Server, see [RAS Gateway](/windows-server/remote/remote-access/ras-gateway/ras-gateway).

1. Enable a `Microsoft.Storage` service endpoint on the virtual network and subnet. This can take up to 15 minutes to complete, although in most cases it will complete much faster. Until this operation has completed, you won't be able to access the Azure file shares within that storage account, including via the VPN connection.
