description Huawei Cloud Virtual Private Network Overview

Huawei Cloud Virtual Private Network is a cloud networking service that creates encrypted connections between private networks. It uses IPsec tunnels to link on-premises infrastructure with Huawei Cloud virtual private clouds, or to connect separate cloud networks through compatible VPN gateways and customer gateways. The service is intended for organizations building hybrid-cloud or cross-network architectures that require protected traffic over public networks.

help Huawei Cloud Virtual Private Network FAQ

What VPN protocol does Huawei Cloud VPN use?

Huawei Cloud VPN uses IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) tunnels to establish encrypted connections between on-premises infrastructure and Huawei Cloud Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). IPsec operates at the network layer, providing encryption and authentication for all traffic passing through the tunnel.

Can I connect my on-premises data center to Huawei Cloud using VPN?

Yes, Huawei Cloud VPN supports site-to-site connections that link your on-premises data center or office network directly to a VPC within Huawei Cloud. You can also establish VPN connections between different Huawei Cloud regions to enable cross-region private networking.

Does Huawei Cloud VPN support BGP for dynamic routing?

Huawei Cloud VPN supports IPsec-based tunnels that can be combined with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) for dynamic route exchange between on-premises networks and cloud VPCs. This allows automatic failover and route updates without manual reconfiguration when network topology changes.

How does Huawei Cloud VPN compare to a Direct Connect dedicated line?

Huawei Cloud VPN transmits data over the public internet through encrypted IPsec tunnels, making it quick to set up and cost-effective for moderate bandwidth needs. Huawei Cloud Direct Connect, by contrast, provides a private physical dedicated line with lower latency and higher throughput, but requires more setup time and higher cost.
