Accept all incoming and outgoing connections on the client that
originate from or go to the server.  It would look something like this:

iptables -I INPUT -s 134.153.37.55 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -s 134.153.37.55 -j ACCEPT

now make sure those will work with your config before just blindly
setting them up!  

Best of luck!  Hope it works.
