When you say 'vps' do you mean VPN? As in a Virtual Private Network?

Solution 1

1) Yes you can
2) You need to connect to VPS's public IP. Either you or the ISP needs to set up NAT (or port forwarding) to forward the server's packets to the client (ie. to the VPS's private IP).

thank you and do you how can i set up nat or port forwarding with my program in some vps???that my point is perhaps i dont need to contact ISP OR VPS manager(as you know :)!!)

This is done on the router/firewall that is protecting the VPS. Ask the guy who configured VPS's private IP. He will need to know your client's and server's listening ports.
