Very important point! Since broadcast is being used, traffic can only
pass switches and not routers. Make sure that the two machines are on
the same ethernet network segment, and if you really do need a VPN
solution then make sure it can pass broadcast traffic.

Some VPN solutions are only layer 3, meaning that the VPN client
and/or server acts just like a router, and can not pass broadcast
traffic across the link.
