Hello, @j1nka

There is no limitation on using port 443. I believe that this is happening because at the moment there is no service listening on this port. You can confirm this by running a netstat command from your droplet:

netstat -plunta | grep 443

If there is no output then the issue is that there is no service binded to this port and this is what you’ll need to sort out. You can check the configuration of your web server (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat).

If you get output and you can see that there is a service listening on this port then the issue is most likely with the Firewall configuration.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi there @j1nka,

In order for you to be able to connect to port 443 you need to have a service listening on that port first, otherwise, when you try to connect to the port there would be nothing to handle your connections.

What you need to do is configure either Jira to listen on that port directly or add Nginx as a reverse proxy to forward the traffic from port 443 to your Jira instance. You can do that by following the steps here:

Hope that this helps!

Hi! Thanks for such a quick perly! Service is listening, checked it. Tried to disable UFW, still not working. Also i don’t have any CloudFW from Digital Ocean. All other ports, except 80/443 working correctly

@bobbyiliev , it’s a simple aiohttp server.

tcp        0      0 206.189.7.216:443       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4204/python3.6  
tcp        0      0 206.189.7.216:60210     149.154.167.220:443     ESTABLISHED 4204/python3.6 

Hello, @j1nka

As per Bobby’s suggestion it is considered best practice to bind the port (443) on 0.0.0.0:443 as it will give you access to the service from other IP addresses as well.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your replies, @alexdo , @bobbyiliev !!!

Changed to 0.0.0.0, netstat -plunta | grep 443

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4967/python3.6

nmap output (nmap -Pn):

PORT   STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open  ssh

My UFW status:

Status: active

8443/tcp (v6)              ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)  

And if i will change to 8443:

netstat -plunta | grep 443

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8443            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      5031/python3.6 

nmap output (nmap -Pn):

PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
8443/tcp open  https-alt

The same problem is with 80 port. Don’t have any ideas why is it hapenning.
