You are having issues consoling to a Linux server hosting a database of customer information from your home machine, you think the problems are being caused by a blocked port on your firewall. Which port on your firewall is likely to cause this sort of an issue if blocked?
Port 22 (SSH) is the best answer, SSH is used for secure communications such as console connections to a remote server. Port 23 is for TELNET and is not a secure connection, it is unlikely (or a horrible practice) that TELNET would be used to connect to a sensitive database. Port 80 is for HTTP traffic, not for console connections. Port 3389 is for RDP, and would not usually be used for a console connection but a remote desktop connection.
