Azure VPN Gateway question

Is it possible to traverse a vm using its private ip space? I have the vpn connected between my router and azure but I can’t seem to ping the private ip for a vm. I did try opening an inbound network security rule for the private ip space on the router side but I still can’t get a ping reply.

Can I connect to a vm using the private ip over the vpn? I’ve done this on aws but I wasn’t sure if azure allows this.

Is your VM vnet peered with the gw vnet?

Thanks. That put me on the right path. I’m able to communicate now with the vm in azure over the vpn gateway. I ran the connection troubleshooting and it started working.
