What Devices Can Be Connected to Huawei Cloud Through a VPN?
Huawei Cloud VPN supports the standard Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) protocol. A device in your on-premises data center can connect to Huawei Cloud if the device meets the following requirements:
- Supports IPsec VPN.
- Has a fixed public IP address, which can be statically configured, or translated through NAT in NAT traversal scenarios (your device is deployed behind a NAT gateway).
Most devices are routers and firewalls. For details about the interconnection configuration, see .
- Common home broadband routers, Windows hosts providing VPN services (such as L2TP), and personal mobile terminals cannot connect to Huawei Cloud through a VPN.
- The following products can connect to Huawei Cloud through VPNs:
- Devices: Huawei firewalls and access routers (ARs), Hillstone firewalls, and Check Point firewalls
- Cloud services: Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure
- Software: strongSwan
- The IPsec protocol is a standard IETF protocol. Devices that support IPsec can interconnect with Huawei Cloud through a VPN.
Most enterprise-class routers and firewalls support the IPsec protocol.
- Some devices support IPsec VPN only after you purchase required software licenses.
Your on-premises data center administrator can check with the device vendor whether a license is required based on the device model.
