Hard to tell without knowing what you have tried. Here are the specifics for connecting to KepServer from the manual: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Connecting+to+Kepware+OPC+UA](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Connecting+to+Kepware+OPC+UA) If I were to guess, you haven't set the trusted certificates. ---

Mate... you can't just keep creating topics with content like "This thing isn't working, please help" without any context, errors, etc. It's like me asking you to drive to my house without telling you where I live. Help us help you without us having to ask a hundred questions first to get the basic information. We're willing to help, but there comes a point where the effort involved isn't worth the benefit of trying ---

As its been stated, what errors are you currently getting? Without any context to what you've tried or the current status of your connection its pretty much impossible to diagnose. ---

"not working". you'll have to be more specific... is there any error? Do you have the firewall on on the remote server? try turning it off (for now at least) ---
