Re: Firewall -- ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out

also check the value of CONNECT_TIMEOUT_<lsnr>, its default value is 10 (secs).

Oh boy!
You need to fix that firewall. You should a) allow your local nodes to go out on Oracle*Net port (and I advise against

    1521, 1526 and 1527).
b) allow certain IP addresses to go in your LAN by using Oracle*Net port.

Second thing to do would be to have a SSL firewall and use Advanced Networking
or, alternatively, configure Oracle*Net to tunnel through firewalls by using ssh. The latter is described on in the following article by R. Schrag: http://www.dbspecialists.com/presentations/net8_security.html

There are tons of options for you and I could easily write an article about Oracle*Net and firewalls (Thermopilae in Greek). The best thing to do is to read a few articles about firewalls and Oracle*Net until you find something that fits your needs. It's half past midnight and I'm tired. May gods be with
you. There was a guy named Leonidas who was the original security administrator at the original firewall. Be brave, your work is much easier then his was.
