Cannot enable Azure Connect in Management Portal

Question

I am new to Windows Azure platform and I am trying to set up Azure Load test. I have already set up Storage account, hosted service and Virtual Network. However, I cannot find Connect tab under Networks -> Virtual Network. The prerequites i.e. Windows Azure SDK and Windows Azure Tools for VS 2010 have been installed. My local machine OS is 64 bit Windows 7.

Answer 1

You must use the previous Management Portal to manage Connect VPNs. The new Management Portal cannot yet manage them. It's under "Virtual Network" tab in there. Also, this CTP must be enabled for your subscription(s) or it may not be present in the portal.

Answer 2

First of all Azure Connect is still in Preview and there is no significant improvements in this component for over a years so I would suggest not to use it.

If you really want to see Windows Azure Connect, it is only available in older portal so please go to older portal to see it.
