No, you just specify the public name or IP address and port instead of
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.
