How to open port 443?, How to open port 443?

afromfrankfurt,

I came here for help on this subject and MAY have an idea why you are still having the problem after turning off the firewall on your Mac. Assuming your router works the same way mine does, you have to do something to create a path between the outside world and your Mac for traffic on port 443. I know there are ways to do this where the computer can dynamically do this but that is not something I have figured out at this point. The ONLY way I know to make it work is to make sure the Mac has the same IP address every time it uses that router and to tell the router to direct traffic coming in from the web to go to the address you have assigned your Mac.

Hopefully someone more knowldegable than I am will speak up and say how to do it dynamically because, if this is a laptop, assigning it a fixed address on your network can create problems when you take it someplace else.

Turn it off, you don't need 2 firewalls and the router already has one.

System Prefernces>Security, turn the Firewall OFF, then no ports are blocked by it.
