Hi Guys, I have some question regarding the PI system, is it possible to use PI system to collect data through internet connection, which is the data source is far away. and not using the 3rd party VPN software.

Yes, you can use the PI System to collect data from remote sources over the internet without relying on third-party VPN software. To achieve this, you'll need several key components: a PI Server for central data storage, PI Interface or Connector to collect data from various sources, PI Web API to facilitate data transfer over the internet, and PI Edge Data Store to collect and buffer data from remote locations. The architecture involves remote sensors or devices sending data to the PI Edge Data Store, which then securely transmits the data over the internet. The PI Web API receives this data and sends it to the PI Server for storage and processing.
