Before you begin...

Review the following checklist to ensure that your environment is set up correctly.
  1. Review planning considerations for VPN servers.
  2. Decide which VPN client authentication mode to use: certificate-based, user ID and passcode, or both.
  3. Create an IBM Cloud Secrets Manager service instance in your IBM Cloud account and manage certificates. It is recommended that you create a private certificate with these considerations in mind.
  4. Create IAM service-to-service authorization for your VPN server and IBM Cloud Secrets Manager.
  5. Create a VPC and at least one subnet in your selected VPC. For high availability, create a VPC and two subnets in two different zones. The VPN server resides in the two subnets.
You can also use Terraform to quickly provision a VPN server. Learn more
