Classic VPN partial deprecation
Starting on October 31, 2021, you will no longer be able to do the following:
- Create new Classic VPN tunnels using static routing (route based or policy based) that connect to another Classic VPN gateway
- Create new Classic VPN tunnels using static routing (route based or policy based) that connect a Google Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network to another cloud provider's network
- Create new Classic VPN tunnels using dynamic routing (all configurations)
You can continue to create the following types of connections and get support for them:
- VPN tunnels using static routing from Classic VPN gateways to on-premises VPN gateways and from on-premises VPN gateways to Classic VPN gateways
- VPN tunnels using static routing from a Classic VPN gateway to and from a Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) acting as a VPN gateway
Although Google will not proactively disable existing connections on the deprecation date, deprecated Classic VPN configurations will no longer receive regular updates or maintenance.
For more information, see the Classic VPN partial deprecation page for a video tutorial and documentation to help you migrate, as soon as possible, to our more reliable High Availability Cloud VPN solution.
