How to connect to a Node machine when we use the VPN using Selenium GRID

I tried to register the node when both the machines are in VPN, But it refused to connect.

Any Solutions??

Thanks in Advance

When both the machines are on the VPN, then there's nothing different in terms of how you connect. You would perhaps need to specify the IP address so that Grid knows what IP is to be used, after you figured out what is the IP with which connections can be made.

Also please make sure that you port 4444 and 5555 (default ports which hub and node uses) are opened up and aren't blocked by your firewall.

Hi,

There is a solution when you are try to establish the connection over VPN network, try to use compute name instead of IP as a host. Because local connection has some different IP and VPN has different IP so node is confused which one to pair then you get UnreachableBrowserException while running. so make sure compute name instead of IP address.

Yes, there is a solution.
Use the computer name instead of IP address if you are using VPN. And
