Topic: Cheap Tunnels, Real Security IPSec on a Shoestring in Azure
Join us for an exciting session on Real Security in Azure on a shoestring.
Tired of Azure VPN costs chewing through your free credits like a hungry hippo? Andy Kemp’s got your back with a clever workaround that’s part tech wizardry, part budget magic. In this guide, he ditches the pricey Azure Virtual Network Gateway and instead spins up a humble £3.50/month Ubuntu VM running strongSwan to create a rock-solid IPsec Site-to-Site VPN.
Whether you're a home lab hero or a cloud-curious tinkerer with a Ubiquiti Dream Machine (UDM) in tow, Andy walks you through the setup with just the right mix of geeky detail and practical advice. Bonus: no need to sacrifice your Azure credits or sanity. It’s VPNing on a shoestring—with style.
We can't wait to see you at the event 🎉
