Hello. I am new to this IoT field. I want some suggestions from professional here to help me clear out my problem.
I have created a virtual machine in azure. Inside the VM, I installed node red. So the node red open under private IP which starts from 10.0.XXXXXXX
Then I install node red in raspberry pi too. The node red in raspberry pi start with local ip which is 192.168.XXXXX
So my problem is now, I want to send data from raspberry pi node red to azure virtual machine node red using MQTT. When I key in the ip address in MQTT, it cannot connect. So what I am missing here and what should I do now?

You haven't mentioned your MQTT broker running. Where is that running and what is it (mosquitto for example)?

When using a global cloud service like Azure, the default configuration is that it is secure. Therefore, there are no routes between your local network and your Azure network.
You need to create a suitable route and the safest method is to use an Azure VPN.
