# Configure server settings for P2S VPN Gateway certificate authentication
1212

13-
This article helps you configure the necessary VPN Gateway point-to-site (P2S) server settings to let you securely connect individual clients running Windows, Linux, or macOS to an Azure virtual network (VNet). P2S VPN connections are useful when you want to connect to your virtual network from a remote location, such as when you're telecommuting from home or a conference. You can also use P2S instead of a site-to-site (S2S) VPN when you have only a few clients that need to connect to a virtual network.

This article helps you configure the necessary VPN Gateway point-to-site (P2S) server settings to let you securely connect from individual client computers running Windows, Linux, or macOS to an Azure virtual network (VNet).

P2S connections don't require a VPN device or a public-facing IP address. There are various different configuration options available for P2S. For more information about point-to-site VPN, see [About point-to-site VPN](point-to-site-about.md).

This article uses the Azure portal to create a virtual network. You can also use a different tool or method to create a virtual network. For more information or steps, see [Create a virtual network](../virtual-network/quick-create-portal.md). For this exercise, the virtual network doesn't require the configuration of additional services, such as [Azure Bastion](../bastion/bastion-overview.md) or [DDoS Protection](../ddos-protection/ddos-protection-overview.md). However, you can add these services if you want to use them.
