# google\_compute\_vpn\_gateway

Represents a VPN gateway running in GCP. This virtual device is managed
by Google, but used only by you.


To get more information about VpnGateway, see:

## Example Usage - Target Vpn Gateway Basic


```hcl
resource "google_compute_vpn_gateway" "target_gateway" {
  name    = "vpn1"
  network = "${google_compute_network.network1.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_network" "network1" {
  name       = "network1"
}

resource "google_compute_address" "vpn_static_ip" {
  name   = "vpn-static-ip"
}

resource "google_compute_forwarding_rule" "fr_esp" {
  name        = "fr-esp"
  ip_protocol = "ESP"
  ip_address  = "${google_compute_address.vpn_static_ip.address}"
  target      = "${google_compute_vpn_gateway.target_gateway.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_forwarding_rule" "fr_udp500" {
  name        = "fr-udp500"
  ip_protocol = "UDP"
  port_range  = "500"
  ip_address  = "${google_compute_address.vpn_static_ip.address}"
  target      = "${google_compute_vpn_gateway.target_gateway.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_forwarding_rule" "fr_udp4500" {
  name        = "fr-udp4500"
  ip_protocol = "UDP"
  port_range  = "4500"
  ip_address  = "${google_compute_address.vpn_static_ip.address}"
  target      = "${google_compute_vpn_gateway.target_gateway.self_link}"
}

resource "google_compute_vpn_tunnel" "tunnel1" {
  name          = "tunnel1"
  peer_ip       = "15.0.0.120"
  shared_secret = "a secret message"

  target_vpn_gateway = "${google_compute_vpn_gateway.target_gateway.self_link}"

  depends_on = [
    "google_compute_forwarding_rule.fr_esp",
    "google_compute_forwarding_rule.fr_udp500",
    "google_compute_forwarding_rule.fr_udp4500",
  ]
}

resource "google_compute_route" "route1" {
  name       = "route1"
  network    = "${google_compute_network.network1.name}"
  dest_range = "15.0.0.0/24"
  priority   = 1000

}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:


* `name` -
  (Required)
  Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is
  created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with
  RFC1035.  Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and
  match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means
  the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following
  characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last
  character, which cannot be a dash.

* `network` -
  (Required)
  The network this VPN gateway is accepting traffic for.


- - -


* `description` -
  (Optional)
  An optional description of this resource.

* `region` -
  (Optional)
  The region this gateway should sit in.
* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource belongs.
    If it is not provided, the provider project is used.


## Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:


* `creation_timestamp` -
  Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
* `self_link` - The URI of the created resource.


## Timeouts

This resource provides the following
[Timeouts](/docs/configuration/resources.html#timeouts) configuration options:

- `create` - Default is 4 minutes.
- `delete` - Default is 4 minutes.

## Import

VpnGateway can be imported using any of these accepted formats:

```
$ terraform import google_compute_vpn_gateway.default projects/{{project}}/regions/{{region}}/targetVpnGateways/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_vpn_gateway.default {{project}}/{{region}}/{{name}}
$ terraform import google_compute_vpn_gateway.default {{name}}
```

-> If you're importing a resource with beta features, make sure to include `-provider=google-beta`
as an argument so that Terraform uses the correct provider to import your resource.
