connect to client VPN with google compute engine

connect to client VPN with google compute engine I am planning to use google compute engine as my development environment. I am writing code for a client and the code to run needs to call the client database that is behind VPN. I can connect to the VPN with my desktop as I have the config files. How can I do the same with google compute engine? Basically I need to connect the instance to the vpn. (The client is using OpenVPN) EDIT: I have tried to do as suggested but when I do it the VM freezes completely (actually I think what happen is that the machine is not reachable anymore with ssh). Am I doing something wrong? This is what I have tried: lucapuggio@avora:~/avora_vpn/openvpn-files$ sudo openvpn AVORA-duo.conf Mon Jul 2 17:26:41 2018 OpenVPN 2.4.0 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Jul 18 2017 Mon Jul 2 17:26:41 2018 library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.2l 25 May 2017, LZO 2.08 Enter Auth Username: luca.puggini Enter Auth ...

Cannot connect to Azure Point to Site VPN from MAC

Cannot connect to Azure Point to Site VPN from MAC I need to establish a p2s connection from a Mac against Azure. From Azure I've downloaded the vpn client zip file with a certificate inside: VpnServerRoot.cer. I can import the certificate in keychain, but when I create the vpn on network preferences, the certificate is not shown. After reading many documents, I've found that apart from the root certificate, a client certificate is needed. This client certificate should be generated from the root certificate. The Microsoft documentation does not include how to do that in Mac (which makes sense). So my question is how do I create a client certificate from the root certificate in Mac? Thanks!
