I'm working on a project for a remote tank site and remote pump site. Both have BRX PLCs and Stride VPN routers. I use the wired version and my own cellular gateway as stride does not offer Verizon version cellular VPN router. I am connecting the two sites with radios and everything is communicating on the bench well and I am programming the PLC and Cmore EA9 at both sites remotely, the reason I chose to install the VPN router. Yes the program download is slow through the VPN. Next we are working on connecting a cloud application of Indusoft Web Studio to the sites and I'm wondering if anyone has done this or has any information about doing that? I have the cellular gateway forwarding port 502 communication to the VPN LAN address and the VPN forwarding 502 traffic to the PLC. I have not had any success pinging it yet.

    We have it working, we are able to Modscan the PLC through the LAN as configured above.
