Windows 2012 restricts port 5985 to the local subnet. To change this,
configure the Windows Firewall to allow connections from outside:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="Windows Remote Management
(HTTP-In)" profile=public protocol=tcp localport=5985
remoteip=localsubnet new remoteip=any

Tune as needed.
