[Cloud VPN](https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/vpn/concepts/overview) connects your on-premises resources and networks to the cloud on [[GCP]] through a gateway on each side. Cloud Router handles routing. Cloud VPN can also connect multiple virtual machines. For more secure connections, consider Cloud Interconnect. Service providers have physically co-located facilities with Google Cloud to avoid passing data over the public web and increase speed.
