Hi community, I have an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server inside a vNet and I want to be able to access it from my local PC in order to restore back up files we are migrating from another DB. Is there anyway to do this that does not involve a VM deployed in the vNet?
We are unable to deploy VMs of any kind as part of our organization policies.

My understanding is that you have an Azure Database for MySQL flexible server inside a vNet and want to be able to access it from a local PC in order to restore back up files we are migrating from another DB. For that to happen, you will need to set up a VPN connection from your local PC to the Azure VNet.
Set Up a Point-to-Site VPN
- Go to the Azure portal.
- Navigate to "Virtual network gateways" and create a new VPN gateway if you don't have one.
- Configure the VPN gateway with the necessary settings, including the address pool and tunnel type.
- Download the VPN client configuration package from the Azure portal and install it on your local PC.
- Connect to the VPN from your local PC using the installed VPN client.
