As of August 1, 2025, dynamic routing or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for Classic VPN tunnels is deprecated. If your workloads require BGP for VPN connectivity, you must use HA VPN.
Existing Classic VPN tunnels that use BGP will continue to function. However, they will no longer be supported and will operate without an availability SLA.

Classic VPN partial deprecation update
Starting on March 31, 2022, you will no longer be able to create new Classic VPN tunnels that use dynamic routing (BGP) unless you are creating a specifically supported configuration.
On or after March 31, 2022, you can still create the following Classic VPN configurations:
- Classic VPN tunnels that use dynamic routing and connect to VPN gateway software running inside a Compute Engine VM.
- Classic VPN tunnels that use static (route-based or policy-based) routing.
This notice replaces any previous notice about the deprecation of static routing configurations in Classic VPN.
Although Google will not proactively disable existing connections on the deprecation date, deprecated Classic VPN configurations will only receive maintenance updates going forward.
For more information, see Classic VPN partial deprecation for a video tutorial and documentation to help you migrate to the more reliable High Availability Cloud VPN solution.
