Default outbound access retirement for VMs and S2S VPN

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;As we now on 30 September 2025 default outbound access for VMs will be retired.https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/default-outbound-access-for-vms-in-azure-will-be-retired-transition-to-a-new-method-of-internet-access/I have on-prem to Azure S2S VPN (on Azure side by means of virtual network gateway + local network gateway).&nbsp;Just wondering if default outbound access retirement may affect the current VPN set up.As far as I can see and understand it should NOT.Just want to double-check myself.Your thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you are correct:
&nbsp;
Default outbound access for VMs in Azure will be retired— transition to a new method of internet access | Azure updates | Microsoft Azure

Kidd_Ip&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for you&nbsp; reply.Also, does it mean that after 30 September 2025 all new subnets will not have the highlighted option and will be private only by default?(I assume all existing subnets will be converted to private as well?)&nbsp;&nbsp;
