Husarnet VPN and rosbot-autonomy

Software
1

Hello,

I’m attending to this github repo: https://github.com/husarion/rosbot-autonomy
If both the PC controlling the ROSbot (3 in my case) via Foxglove and the ROSbot itself are on the same LAN (that is, I can already ssh to it from the PC), is there any need to go for the Husanet VPN connection? This looks like an optional step but it is not clear in the README.

Hi @pbruneau

ROS2 data isn’t shared by default on the foxglove branch. I suggest checking out the main branch, which should soon be promoted to the default navigation demo.

OK I didn’t attend to the main branch so far, as ros2router was coming as default. So if I get this correctly:

  • With the foxglove branch, Step 1 (regarding VPN) can’t be skipped
  • With the main branch, I shouldn’t mind about that (the text seems to imply that this is a sort of option for remote internet access rather than a requirement)

Correct?

Hello @pbruneau,
I’ll actually address the main part of the question. That’s right, when both LAN devices are connected, you can bypass the Husarnet step.
