A virtual network gateway is composed of two or more VMs that are deployed to a specific subnet you create called the *gateway subnet*. Virtual network gateway VMs contain routing tables and run specific gateway services. These VMs are created when you create the virtual network gateway. You can't directly configure the VMs that are part of the virtual network gateway.

A virtual network gateway is composed of two or more VMs that are automatically configured and deployed to a specific subnet you create called the *gateway subnet*. The gateway VMs contain routing tables and run specific gateway services. You can't directly configure the VMs that are part of the virtual network gateway, although the settings that you select when configuring your gateway impact the gateway VMs that are created.

When you configure a virtual network gateway, you configure a setting that specifies the gateway type. The gateway type determines how the virtual network gateway will be used and the actions that the gateway takes. The gateway type 'Vpn' specifies that the type of virtual network gateway created is a 'VPN gateway'. This distinguishes it from an ExpressRoute gateway, which uses a different gateway type. A virtual network can have two virtual network gateways; one VPN gateway and one ExpressRoute gateway. For more information, see [Gateway types](vpn-gateway-about-vpn-gateway-settings.md#gwtype).

Creating a gateway can often take 45 minutes or more, depending on the selected gateway SKU. When you create a virtual network gateway, gateway VMs are deployed to the gateway subnet and configured with the settings that you specify. After you create a VPN gateway, you can create an IPsec/IKE VPN tunnel connection between that VPN gateway and another VPN gateway (VNet-to-VNet), or create a cross-premises IPsec/IKE VPN tunnel connection between the VPN gateway and an on-premises VPN device (Site-to-Site). You can also create a Point-to-Site VPN connection (VPN over OpenVPN, IKEv2, or SSTP), which lets you connect to your virtual network from a remote location, such as from a conference or from home.
