Work From Home/Port Forwarding Issue
Hello!
Recently my office is having everyone work for home a day or two out of the week to limit the number of people in the office because of COVID. I am having trouble accessing the database for...

Depends on your OS and if you have any 3rd-party firewall(s) installed.
Boss-test is okay but don't you want to learn some networking?
My laptop is Windows 10 and I don't believe, besides the default Cox settings, I have no 3rd party firewalls installed.
Yeah, I'd like to learn something. It was just something he suggested to make sure that it was a problem with my network rather than just if I left my office network.
You said your boss also subscribes to Cox. Does he have a Pano unit as well?
Can you telnet to the server from work?
Yes
I don't mean connecting to the server via Azure...but launching a command prompt and connecting via telnet by the IP and port of the server.
Yes, it works and has worked from my office in the past
Okay. Your computer isn't blocking the port, so no need to review your firewall logs, which seems to quite involved on Windows 10.
If your Pano is in Bridge Mode, it shouldn't be blocking it. Port 50135 is a private port, so Cox shouldn't be blocking it.
Something is amiss.
Agreed. The support case that we started with the 3rd party company has yet to be answered with any other suggestions as to what to do, but, in theory, I should have been able to access it someway somehow at this point.
The only thing I can think of is if you subscribe to a private VPN service at home. However, the VPN software to "hide" your data would either be installed on your computer or router.
Your Pano router is off so this rules out the router. Unless you have VPN software on the computer for only your Cox connection at home, i don't know what else would be "tunneling" your data.
Nope, no other VPN.
When you attempt a telnet, you're using an IP address and not its host name?
