how to set up a remote connection between the robot and the remote PC working through a VPN?

I'm trying to establish connection between my robot running on ROS-2 and my remote PC. My remote PC is connected to the robot through a VPN. Currently I'm using FasRTPS and I'm not pretty sure on how to establish the communication between the robot and the remote machine.

I have already set the ROSDOMAINID but still I'm not able to establish the connection.

Thanks !

Are you using a VPN client? What operating systems are your host machine and robot running?

In theory so long as the robot was already sitting on the network to which you connect through the VPN you should be able to just see it. After connecting to the VPN can you ping the IP address of the robot?

Yes I'm using a VPN client. I have 20.04 running on both the machines. Yes, I'm able to ping the robot.

Have you found the solution to this issue ? I'm facing the same problem where both can ping each other but I can't see the topics.
