+# Google Cloud VPN
+
+This guide shows how to connect to your private Dragonfly Cloud instance using Google Cloud VPN.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Google Cloud account with appropriate permissions
+- A Dragonfly Cloud instance deployed in Google Cloud with a private endpoint
+- [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) installed on your machine
+- OpenVPN client software installed on your local machine
+
+## Setting Up Cloud VPN
+
+### Step 1: Create a VPN Gateway
+
+1. Navigate to the [VPN page](https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/vpn/list) in the Google Cloud Console
+2. Click on "Create VPN Connection" and select "HA VPN"
+3. Enter a name for your VPN gateway
+4. Select the same region as your Dragonfly Cloud instance
+5. Click "Create"
+
+### Step 2: Create a Cloud Router
+
+1. Click "Create Cloud Router"
+2. Enter a name for your router
+3. Select the same region as your VPN gateway
+4. Choose a Google ASN (Autonomous System Number)
+5. Click "Create"
+
+### Step 3: Create External VPN Gateway
+
+1. Navigate to "External VPN gateways" in the left menu
+2. Click "Create external VPN gateway"
+3. Enter a name and the appropriate interface IP addresses
+4. Click "Create"
+
+### Step 4: Create VPN Tunnels
+
+1. Return to the HA VPN gateways page
+2. Click on your newly created gateway
+3. Click "Create VPN tunnel"
+4. Configure the tunnel settings to match your network requirements
+5. Create a second tunnel for high availability
+6. Configure BGP sessions for each tunnel
+
+### Step 5: Configure Client VPN
+
+1. Download the OpenVPN configuration file from the Google Cloud Console
+2. Import the configuration into your OpenVPN client
+3. Connect to your VPN using your credentials
+
+## Connecting to Dragonfly Cloud
+
+Once your VPN connection is established:
+
+1. Use your standard Dragonfly client with the private endpoint address
+2. Your connection is now securely tunneled through the VPN
+
+```python
+import dragonfly
+
+# Connect to your private Dragonfly Cloud instance through VPN
+client = dragonfly.connect(
+    host='your-private-endpoint.internal',
+    port=6379
+)
+
+# Now you can interact with your Dragonfly instance
+client.set('key', 'value')
+result = client.get('key')
+print(result)  # Outputs: 'value'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter connectivity issues:
+
+1. Verify your VPN connection is active
+2. Check that your VPN routes include the subnet of your Dragonfly instance
+3. Ensure your firewall rules allow traffic to the Dragonfly port
+4. Confirm your Dragonfly instance's network policy allows your VPN subnet
+
+For additional assistance, please contact Dragonfly Cloud support.
