I’m guess you mean VPS.
If you node online, not suspended and not disqualified, it working fine.
However, since you have problems like

I can assume that it was mostly offline. Please, fix the issue.
By the way, if you use a VPS only for Storj it’s probably not worth it - you will pay more than your income, you can use this Earning Estimator to have an idea:
If you mean a VPN (virtual private network) and not a VPS (virtual private server), then only a few VPN providers give you a port forwarding feature: portmap.io, ngrok, PIA, PureVPN, etc.
If your VPN doesn’t have a port forwarding feature - the node will be offline, especially if you do not have a public IP (your WAN IP is different from the IP on Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router).
