title: Azure VPN connection and public IP
body: <p>On Azure, <a href="http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-create-site-to-site-cross-premises-connectivity/" rel="nofollow">http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-create-site-to-site-cross-premises-connectivity/</a></p>
  
  <p>the following is stated in relation to site to site connectivity. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A VPN device with a public IPv4 address. You'll need the IP address in
    order to complete the wizard.</p>
    
    <p>The VPN device cannot be located behind a network address translator
    (NAT) and must meet the minimum device standards.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm assuming this is accurate, but could anyone confirm? it seems very limiting, since my peer vpn device can support NAT-T. Does the Azure VPN g/w device support IPsec NAT-T?</p>
  
  <p>Is the same restriction applicable to point to site, where my peer is the point and I want to connect/be connected to by the Azure VPN gateway device with VNet behind the Azure VPN g/w device.</p>
  
  <p>thank you. </p>
