Thank you. I created an IPsec tunnel instead.

OpenVPN site to site is not a solution as described by Thomas

Hi Randy,
A DaaS DMS its network runs on Azure and needs a Site-to-Site connection in order to reach other networks. According to Microsoft Azure their documentation an OpenVPN Site-to-Site is not possible. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/vpn-gateway-about-vpngateways#planningtable)
Therefore, it won't be possible to monitor elements from a remote network as the router needs to suppport IPSec.
Hope this answers your question.
