Which port, except 443 (SSL) should I enable in the Firewall of the Router for the usage of SSL and secure/encrypted pages? :confused:


I struggle to access secure/protected pages, unless I disable the Firewall of the Router everytime I access such a page !
Do you have a Port List as reference handy?
 
Google is your friend...

Google "internet port list"
 
That port is the port on the SERVER that handles ssl. The outgoing port on your machine changes everytime. If you were HOSTING a secure server, then allowing traffic on that port would allow connections TO you. You would need to give access to the application that you are using to access the server (e.g. your browser)
 
Oh, or you could configure your browser or whatever to only use a specific port to ssl OUT, and then open up that port on your firewall. Use high port numbers: above 1024, because below this are all reserved, I think.
