Can you telnet to the server from work?
Yes

You said your boss also subscribes to Cox. Does he have a Pano unit as well?

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?

I'm using what looks like a website and then the port number. I'm copying what the 3rd party company gave me originally and how they told me to do it.

For security reasons, you're doing well by not identifying the server name and its IP address. As you know, this is a big security risk.
When you telnet, you're using...for example...YouTube.com instead of 208.65.153.238?
Cox DNS may not being able to resolve the IP address of this private server. Do you have the IP address of this private server?
