Failed to forward port 443

[stijnrosaer]

I have a web server behind my pfSense box that serves several websites. I achieved to forward port 80 to it but when forwarding port 443, I am not able to access the websites.
The NAT port forwarding rule for port 443 is the same as for 80 but of course with the correct port.
Anyone who can help me?

@stijnrosaer your pfSense WebGUI uses https? If so, you need to run WebGUI on another port than 443

@viktor_g I changed the web WebGUI port for https to another higher port

Show your port forwarding and firewall rules

Forwarding rules:

Firewall rules:
These are in the WAN interface

And where did you get in this process? From your hits on your wan rule I would say that traffic is getting to you on 443.. So did you sniff on the lan side and validate that traffic is being sent or not sent?

You sure the client is listening on 443, you sure it doesn't have a firewall..

Solved the problem. I had a mail server on the same machine listening to port 443 for who knows what reason.
Thanks a lot
