trying to connect to a remote oracle server across a VPN

Installed Oracle instant client 12.2 on my local machine
I have set the PATH folder to the Oracle home directory
I have configured the tnsnames.ora file

ICB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xx.x.xx)(PORT = xxxx)))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = T11)
) )

When I run tnsping xxx.xx.x.xx- TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out

When i run tnsping ICB -TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name

What else can i try ?
