Please also check How to set up proxy and P2P Ethernet connection with STM32CubeIDE if you are in that case.

4 Debug Configuration

• Select your project, right-click Debug as... > Debug Configurations.
  
• Then create a STM32 Cortex-A Remote Application debug configuration, double clicking on it.

5 Debug on STM32 MPU device

Click Debug :
