      Completely unnecessary.

      Supposed to be, yes I know that.  That's why I said just for grins.  Weird things do sometimes happen.

          Configured for 444 right now and no I did not reboot after changing the web redirect.

          I will give this a try in a few.

          @Derelict:

          I conclude there is something on 192.168.1.6 that is misbehaving on port 443 and it's not pfSense.

          Next step is probably Diagnostics > States, Diagnostics > Packet Capture, or logs from the server at 192.168.1.6.

          Ok I will look at it again, I know there are a few other services that have their own webserver but I did not see them with netstat or lsof on port 443.

          Thanks for the input though, I've been fighting this for a while.

            And it was also a fresh apache2 install and it gave no errors when starting, just a little more info..

              If web server is configured to listen on 444 then the 443 rule is not going to work.

                You could port forward from 443 to 444 though.

                Set the dest port to 443 and the NAT port to 444.

                    That will only work if your TLS web server is listening on 444. Only you know what's going on on your network/servers.

                        Then I guess you need to figure out why connections from outside aren't completing. Packet capture on LAN port 444 and post.

                          Solved !!
                          Well not really but after 2 hours of tcpdump and no traffic ever reaching port 443, I decided to look at the trusty Uverse gateway for info I saw that it has port 443 used for the WAP if you have any wireless receivers, and then a quick little google turned up the the same from ATT.

                          After redoing the NAT on 444 to 444 the webserver does work.
                          Not an ideal solution, but its all I have now.

                          Thank you to everyone that responded.

                              Agreed, I just never thought it would be used by them for device control and I haven't always had the wireless receivers, and 443 has worked for me in the past.
