Hi All,

As we now on 30 September 2025 default outbound access for VMs will be retired.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/default-outbound-access-for-vms-in-azure-will-be-retired-transition-to-a-new-method-of-internet-access/

I have on-prem to Azure S2S VPN (on Azure side by means of virtual network gateway + local network gateway).

Just wondering if default outbound access retirement may affect the current VPN set up.

As far as I can see and understand it should NOT.

Just want to double-check myself.

Your thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
