ROS 2 Connectivity Troubleshooting Guide

Hey everyone! Team SHUNYA here.

During our ROS 2 connectivity tests over Husarnet VPN, we ran into a variety of issues — and we know many teams are facing the same.

So we put together a complete troubleshooting guide based on what worked for us, to help others save time and frustration.

What’s covered in the guide:

  • Correct setup of Fast DDS Discovery Server with Husarnet
  • Fix for topics not visible across devices
  • UFW firewall restrictions and MTU tuning
  • Fixing message mismatches: Twist → TwistStamped conversion* with twist_bridge
  • Image feed issues* (like freezing or lag with /image_raw) and how to handle:

We documented this because connectivity testing is a shared challenge across teams — and solving it early makes all the difference.

Follow along this git link(https://github.com/mission-mangal/shunya_remote2025_connectivity) and let us know if you face any issues.
