Conect my Ignition Designer with a PLC that is out of my network

Hi. My name is Sergio. I am from Colombia. I have this doubt:
Can I link my Ignition Designer with a PLC that is located in another country?
I want to acquire the data from a PLC scattered in Spain. How can I do that?

I would be so grateful if you could lead me with this issue.

Setup a VPN connection between the two end points.

OpenVPN is free.

If this PLC is inside a factory and they have an IT department, they might allow you to port forward into it (with whitelisting applied).
