# Calling a private Cloud Function from On-premises
This example shows how to invoke a private Google Cloud Function from the on-prem environment via a Private Service Connect endpoint.
According to the [documentation](https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/networking/network-settings#ingress_settings), only requests from VPC networks in the same project or VPC Service Controls perimeter are allowed to call a private Cloud Function. That's the reason why a Private Service Connect endpoint is needed in this architecture.
The Terraform script in this folder will create two projects connected via VPN: one to simulate the on-prem environment and another containing the Cloud Function and the Private Service Connect endpoint.
The "on-prem" project contains a small VM that can be used to test the accessibility to the private Cloud Function:
```bash
curl https://YOUR_REGION-YOUR_PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/my-hello-function
```
