In this short article, we will demonstrate how to create a **Classic VPN** tunnel from **GCP** to **Anypoint Platform**.  ##### VPN Setup in GCP In this first phase, we will set up a classic VPN in GCP. To learn more about Classic VPN, please check the official [documentation](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/vpn/how-to/creating-static-vpns). For the sake of brevity, this article will cover only the basics regarding the creation of a VPN, starting with our "Create a VPN" screen: **![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zBTijORB_kdnVzckDJhGOAKzESCwJEhtZl6RNk6EGde5afDiumjTkBrBs12exzf5K2i3Z-NgzFsI23yJi3K7n0To4lZzU9yhjgonBeHviwKLnt9ZfTNEMaKTTx6VM1CPMe_YX0zOyUuOIGv7fpNLrZKyH6r1pUu392uFmE3qKPAkDSFWaJFqLr3RaAFuIA)** Choose VPC Next, we choose a **VPC** to expose via this VPN. In my case, it's **gke-vpc** with CIDR **10.101.0.0/22.** Then we reserve a **Static IP** for our VPN, as illustrated below. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/RcCyBrqUGOhnXIfU_-qewxIcElweX4VyjZGmPtdInA_y02ZYjFL0bk5_LPky5ECY6oF4oobQr8IVGR_p7Ac5JEcbd9famxbR4WH0gC6QElKJeYQ1nUfCKu9fOlDdlgyWmXZRy4VkJp-ZcFPi-Yk06lxYxZZ1JLvGt7FFfOOd0Un4vFW_HmrYKxm8pDLXQg) Tunnel Configuration Next, we need to configure our tunnels by filling in as much information in the form below as possible: ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/RdHfcQOqlVbJlebUu4ELv-lKe4O2UeiuJraiZD2EioDu0CNZQQk6S3taIaVA0HMKjFZ_CEEd3GBe42OMPuSVSRl-Jj-5yvdYpiMBf6z1mpSFUyV8XbHttzJtolYho9zCW4ftpVMX9SWy-iMXLb_ppZ0J1Ri6yynX5AhdV_pY9RCWEzOhwH3wBS0v9iQn5Q) To finish filling in the form above, we will need some information from the **Anypoint Platform**. So, let's switch to Anypoint Platform now. VPN Setup in Anypoint Platform For the sake of simplicity, I have mapped the information from the Anypoint Platform to the tunnel configuration form as shown in the screenshot below. This will help you understand which information corresponds to each field. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Ui9UFTVaIqYKMeDBWHPlYEjIn1Mrk4-yOH3eF88v8W79eFfxFApLfo_t9g9Mqy-hTO1DXXlyDgHb3MlHeSdy8HHl7EhaULGIFyUYFxwaF5JZEK8UW7XS_0rkA4_arrL2gjRWpX3_aRsBDWY8Om4hcv8gzw_4hyGtW0mNwV3cOIKO0cIxgRUUY780rjKvwQ) Get Tunnel Configs The diagram below shows you how to fill in all of the necessary configurations. ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Sp9ytqKrns9UftPAE86-FZs0HGDTSwCmRYit_F40BRlUJmHU5UP9J_8O-DO3ZUPqKKlapikE1814Ad_OOZtjJfATla9FnMoD74o9-FO907oDeSLLhs8mhuenazFjufdE5I36kHH3WpZFEvzlUqiBlyEx5EHrI8CBadVYQahLXYFd-oDpNmOPKQGX4-0uyg) Now click **CREATE*.*** If everything is correctly filled out, your tunnel will be created. ##### Testing the Tunnel At this point, I have done two things: 1. I have launched a VM in GCP in the defined VPC i.e **10.101.0.0/22.** The IP of the VM instance is **10.101.0.10**.  2. I have deployed an API in **CloudHub** in the specified VPC of Anypoint Platform, i.e **10.10.0.0/22**. The IP address of the worker is **10.10.3.134**. So now let's test everything by pinging from both sides. Ping from Worker (Anypoint Platform) to VM (GCP) To test the configuration, I created a Mule API to run almost all Linux commands available in the worker. Check out the result below, which shows that I can successfully ping the VM in GCP: ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/TK4yyFGxFcjgKmjsHWtJsh9dUu8kIROpKuhkWWC8n8UWf4ICltaTijrO8iV_KpzEvQsYwrJ2eIwyFsH2GCDMoJf7z8crcyERXqgW2VUwIypY04iCZwQs3bp9CPXsfkX_i7fGSMB-XTGLfXnx3ORNlwvNh7FuiA_JgePO6Z0hC7d_KsTLCS4l20KESjLk4Q) Ping from VM (GCP) to Worker (Anypoint Platform) And now we need to test it from the VM to Anypoint Platform: **![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SH5CFakTXv8Mkh1fjFl4iHXH9HFA7NOcjUIMnepsVRlSjhJ1_kjOrgvlaxrEe2KVCpk0x0Xxe4PyE1amI9vc6acrvnEk4W-htqZ6Pss2uwUdS_WMwlDw90OuxN9eyCE_Js0nxyO1efbuYAag9o1gAIfQ9yN6mtRRP82Doq9wnywh8Kc7uBycJpU9CVc9Bw)** Hurray! It also pinged. So, our tunnel is working perfectly. ##### Conclusion In this brief article, I have shown how to create a tunnel from the Anypoint Platform to GCP in a classic way. The overall scenario is illustrated in the following diagram. ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/A1oJ3D0DJUq2Nc70lgWxTXAhPuhVBrNk1acagZMswfMN8i8aXZhfNI953maFTY350KE9n8_5AWw5sDW9zGUXryky6VC4JcQNA_DAJAEJf7pRGnuGUofgdqmXQ8aWkZm3EVHTf1_HjaeDm3O2b5-47vIDnpxGzEamE58aC-bbS123t4H9IgWCTRi2SsTKNw) In the next article, I will explain how to create an HA VPN in GCP and make a tunnel to the Anypoint Platform.  --- ### Author # Anupam Gogoi Anupam Gogoi is an Integration Engineer at Avenue Code.
