Port 443 open
-
I'll bypass pfsense with a standard home-based router tonight and see weather the port is still open. I agree with you - I doubt that message is coming from pfsense. I must admit I am a little concerned maybe the server has been compromised
-
It's definitely pfsense keeping port 443 open. I have put the modem non-bridging mode and the port is closed. Could some glitch in pfsense be causing this? I'm at a loss as to what to do DX

Already suggested to do a packet capture. Then there are firewall logs. As for hunting ghosts, no, no suggestions. Produce some information to work with. https://ip_ommited and a 404 that clearly does not come from pfSense is not useful. Did you enable some UPnP junk?
:(

A thought: Just to double-check, where are you hitting 'ip omitted' from? Are you pointing to the ip address from a machine inside your network or from outside?

Yep you were correct!!!
I very much appreciate your persistance in replying, despite my ignorance/vague replies. You have saved me a lot of grief!!!

I manually wrote 'ip omitted' as i didnt want the public internet knowing what my IP address is. It was a public address for what its worth. Cheers.

I understand if no one replies to this - (unrelated) but could someone please explain why Windows Media player requires https port forwarded? cheers.

You need to ask MS. Please, disable or at least severely restrict the UPnP access, there are some examples in the GUI. Very dangerous without any restrictions.

According to MS it's to do with performance: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/stream-your-media-over-the-internet-using-windows-media-player. Though this is really a question for a different forum.

Ah of course, who gives a fuck about security, performance is much more important in the MS land; plus it's extremely excellent idea to steal standard HTTPS port for some media streaming junk. :o ???

Before I found the article, I gamely wondered if MS might have been using 443 to encrypt the data. Hardy-har-har!
