I started a jstatd on the remote server (Ubuntu Server 14.04):
jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=.jstatd.all.policy -J-Djava.rmi.server.logCalltrue -p 9099
and try to connect to it with jvisualvm on windows. I checked netstat, the connection is established, and on the remote it logs the call:

All signs are saying that it's working. but however no applications is showing in jvisualvm:

There are two ways to connect a remote JVM application to VisualVM: Either using jstatd or Java Management Extensions (JMX). The jstatd program is an RMI server that bundled with the JDK and monitors JVM and provides an interface to allow remote monitoring tools to attach to JVM running on the localhost.
Connecting to a Remote Host To add a remote host, right-click the Remote node in the Applications window, choose Add Remote Host and type the host name or IP address in the Add Remote Host dialog box. (You can also specify a display name that will be used to refer to the host when listed under the Remote node.)
Description. The jstatd command is an RMI server application that monitors for the creation and termination of instrumented Java HotSpot VMs and provides an interface to enable remote monitoring tools to attach to JVMs that are running on the local host. The jstatd server requires an RMI registry on the local host.
Apparently VisualVM expects a consistent DNS name for the server you're trying to connect to remotely (the Ubuntu Server 14.04 in your case). Hence, if you're specifying an IP address instead of a DNS name to VisualVM you should add the following to your jstatd startup line:
-J-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<the IP address to your Ubuntu server here>
Additionally, I found out that specifying the port option (-p 9099 in your case) is not supported in some VisualVM releases:
Known limitation: In this VisualVM release the jstatd's default port and rminame must be used when starting the jstatd utility, i.e. the use of the -p and -n options is not supported. VisualVM Troubleshooting Guide
All in all, you should try running the following jstatd line on your Ubuntu Server:
jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=.jstatd.all.policy -J-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=10.82.83.117 -J-Djava.rmi.server.logCalltrue
Sources:

jstatd -p 1099 -J-Djava.rmi.sver.hostname=10.250.105.112 -J-Djava.security.policy=<(echo 'grant codebase "file:${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar" {permission java.security.AllPermission;};')
Works for Me Perfectly
