    Hi Sorts,

     

    Welcome to our community!

     

    For disabling the port 443, follow the instructions below:

    - Login to firewall

    - Go to Administration > Remote Management > Allow Secure HTTP management - NO

    - Apply

    - then check using a port scanner if it still open

    - If still open, then look for the HTTPS service under inbound rules and delete it.

     

    For enabling it on the outbound service:

    - Go to Security > Firewall > LAN WAN Rules > Outbound Services > +Add

    - Service : HTTPS

    - Action : Allow always

    - Specify the LAN and WAN users or leave it by default

    - Then apply
