Hi @jackynguyen93,

Are you sure there is a service listening on port 465? Please provide me with the result of the command 

netstat -tulpen | grep 465

Additionally, can you please provide me with the configuration file of your application?

An Alternative would be just as you mentioned the port being blocked for outgoing connections. To allow outgoing connections from your server to server2 on TCP port 465, use this on your server :

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d <server2ip> --dport 465 -j ACCEPT
