localhost:3050.
But it is not recommended to use Firebird over the Internet, since the wire
protocol is not optimized for a delays you have there. The second reason is
security - wire protocol is not encrypted. Better install either ssh tunnel
or ZeeBeeDee that will both compress and encrypt traffic, that brings
performance.
