It is not a good idea to open port 3389 at least externally because of security reasons. Any network scanner will be able to detect an open rdp port pretty quickly.

I usually keep the internal port to the standard 3389 while on the firewall interface, change it to a non-standard port above 40000. This delays the working of network scanners and you can also set the firewall to block connections which are scanning many system ports.
