Once approved, Soracom will request your authorization to create a Type-F Virtual Private Gateway in your Soracom account with the VPN configuration, or to add the VPN configuration to an existing Type-F VPG. After the VPG has been set up, you will receive details of the VPG ID and VPN connections from Soracom.
