Hi Power,
Have you confirmed the following steps:

  1. It can connect to mqtt through a client running on the same VPS
  2. The firewall allows port 1883 through for outside traffic
  3. You can connect to the mqtt broker on the VPS through a client like MQTT Explorer or similar, from a remote location

If any of those 3 steps fail, you've an issue to resolve between the broker and your VPS/networking. If these don't fail, it might be in the configuration setup. See if you can report back on those 3 steps first. I recently set up Mosquitto on a cloud server, and realised a bit too late that my connection issues were caused by not allowing access to the port beyond the own network.

We have no idea on what VPS you are using - but would almost guarantee that it will have a firewall enabled - you will need to enable port 1883 through the firewall. I would also suggest you lock the firewall down to only allow 1883 from your remote IP address - otherwise you will very quickly find you broker under attack from outside
