If a user connects to the global profile associated with the User VPN configuration, they'll connect to the closest Virtual WAN hub based on their location. This is especially useful if you have users that travel between multiple locations frequently.įor example, a User VPN Configuration is associated with two different hubs for the same virtual WAN, one in West US and one in Southeast Asia. A user connected to the global profile is directed to the hub that's closest to the user's geographic location. However, you can choose to exclude hubs if necessary. The Global Traffic Manager includes all active User VPN hubs that are using that User VPN configuration. The global profile associated with a User VPN configuration points to a Global Traffic Manager. This article helps you generate VPN client configuration files for both types of profiles. The type of profile you choose depends on whether you want the VPN client to connect to a geographically load-balanced WAN-level profile (global profile), or you want to restrict the VPN client to connect only to a certain hub (hub profile). Azure Virtual WAN offers two types of connection profiles for User VPN clients: global profiles and hub profiles.
