Description

### The required feature described as a wish

As admin user currently to identify the relation between vpc, vpn connections , site to site vpn , vpn customer gateway, vpngateways is difficult from api and also from the ui prespective

It would be great we could improve the api and Ui related operations to site to site vpn

https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.22.1.0/adminguide/networking/site_to_site_vpn.html

UI/API Issue 1: Show the associated s2svpngatewayid and s2scustomergatewayid and vpc in the vpn connections page

Navigate to Network > VPN Connections

The listVpnConnections has the s2scustomergatewayid and s2svpngatewayid in the api response and also vpcid as a parameter

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listVpnConnections.html

Expected behaviour

As Admin user i would like to know to which to vpn customer gateway ( name) and to which vpc (name) that a particular vpn connection is assoicated with.

Remembering the IP address and UUID is not possible

UI/API Issue 2: Differnt views present when creating a vpn connection

Navigate > Network > Create VPN connection >

UI issue 3: Rename ( Network > Site-to-Site VPN ) to VPN gateways

Its calling the listVpnGateways api

https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.22/apis/listVpnGateways.html

Expected behaviour

The site to site vpn is not a proper name

-----
UI issue 4: Show the VPC details in the main page Network > Site to Site VPN

The vpc details is visible after clicking the IP address

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Network > VPN Connections, Site-to-Site VPN, VPN gateways, and VPN Customer gateway views alongside the listVpnConnections, listVpnGateways, and listVpnCustomerGateways API documentation. Compare the two VPN connection creation flows and identify how the existing responses expose VPC and gateway associations. Done means the relevant names and VPC details are visible in the listed views and the creation forms are consistent.
