Should using VPN cause remotedev-server to not work?

I am using a VPN connection to connect to my company's private network. Can this cause the remotedev server to break? I get the following error:

yarn run v1.3.2
$ remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000
[RemoteDev] Start server...

Here's my config:

import devTools from 'remote-redux-devtools';

const enhancer = compose(
    applyMiddleware(thunk),
    devTools({
      name: 'app_name',
      realtime: true,
      hostname: 'localhost',
      port: 8000, // pointing to local remotedev server
    }),
    autoRehydrate(),
  );

const store = createStore(reducers, enhancer);
