Loging into Azure using a VPN vs. straight browser

VPN

Hello Friends,

I am faced with two choices to log into an Azure portal. One, through a VPN on a company-provided computer, and two, using a browser on my personal computer.

I would appreciate knowing: Which method is more secure?

I think they are the same, except in method two, a snoopy third party can know mine and Azure portal’s IP addresses because the rest of the IP packets would be encrypted. In method one, the snooper would know mine and VPN server’s IP addresses. I kinda think that the difference is not relevant. Your thoughts please.

I have done extensive searches on Google, but could not find satisfactory answers. Thank you in advance.

Either is fine, it is public cloud after all….

You’re connecting using HTTPS. It’s a secured connection that has certificates and other security mechanisms in place to ensure your traffic is not being intercepted/modified. Like the previous comment said, you’ll be fine either way.
