If the GSM node has a private address which is managed by the internal network of the provider, how can I connect it to a VPN/proxy and expect it to work? As far as I know it wouldn't be a public address, and therefore not accessible from the outside?
It would only make sense if the VPN/proxy service is also offered by the same provider, isn't it? Thanks.

In short: If the provider says you can access the public network, you can!
To enable you to access the public network from within a private network, the provider can maintain a NAT device. With this device in place, communication between the public and private network is possible as along as the initiator of the communication is a client in the private network. (That's not strictly true, but for the sake of this answer, it is true enough.)
Connections to a VPN server or a proxy server are no different than ordinary connections. (Again, that's not strictly true, but for the sake of this question, it is true enough.)
1Wow! Three people have so far voted "unclear what you're asking"! But I think I can understand the question. See my answer. – None – 2017-04-04T04:53:18.450
