I'd do it with a layer in between. E.g. A WebService for the Task to report with another part to retrieve the Progress Information. You will have to host this on the Internet/Cloud though....

Thanks for your comment but the information is not enough how could I connect to machine
A to machine B via a hosted service.

You don't. Instead machine A tells the web service "I'm 10% done" and every 30 seconds machine B asks the webservice "What is the progress of machine a?" and it is told "10%" so displays that info.

Maybe SignalR would be an option, see: c# - How to create online signalR server - Stack Overflow[^]
This answer seems a bit simplistic though, just Google on SignalR for more information.

Raddevus has an interesting article about SignalR, Beginner's Guide to Using SignalR via ASP.NET[^]
and he recommends this hosting site: SmarterASP.net - Unlimited ASP.NET Web Hosting[^]
