Problem with port 443 for https

[afr-ux]

I am trying setup https on port 443, I get the following error. I've googled it but I don't know how to fix it:

lacking permission on port 443, try with permission (administrator) or port > 1024

I have Windows v10.0.19045.3803].
I don't have other software running on port 443.
I tried run as administrator, and it works same.

I try cmd (with administrator mode):
net stop winnat
net start winnat
But with first line, it said that this service is not running.

I tried reboot computer too.

Any idea? Thanks.

open the browser on https://localhost e see if there's anything already on it.
I expect nothing, because otherwise hfs should get a different error, but it's worth a try.

In this computer, port 80 works fine, and port 443 doesn't work. http://localhost show user website OK. https://localhost say: network error If I use https in port 81 works fine. But I can see ":81" in url. In other computer, in same LAN, both ports (80 and 443) work fine. Thanks. 2024-01-10 15:44 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:

is "network error" the exact message reported by your browser?

[afr-ux]

It is in spanish ;-) This is: No se puede acceder a este sitio webSe ha restablecido la conexión. Prueba a: Comprobar la conexión Comprobar el proxy y el cortafuegos Ejecutar Diagnósticos de red de Windows ERR_CONNECTION_RESET I checked firewall too. 2024-01-10 16:59 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:

ok, i was looking specifically for that ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED :)
now i'm quite sure that hfs is correct at NOT saying that the port is used by another program.

[rejetto]

you said "checked firewall". Did you try disabling it?

Hi,

In my case port 443 is working, but I can not access it locally. Only port 80 can be accessed locally. So port 443 works perfectly for outside connections and also the tests in HFS tell me that the port can be reached from the oudside.

I tested if the port 443 was reachable from the outside myself by using a VPN. That worked for me locally. :-)

Kind regards,

I have tried disabling the firewall. The result is the same. 2024-01-10 18:01 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:

do you have other "security" software that block hfs ? in case, try disabling it temporarily

[afr-ux]

I can't use it either locally or from outside. 2024-01-10 19:01 GMT+01:00, Henk - PH5HP ***@***.***>:

Hi,

I think in my case it is due to that I host my HFS here on my home computer and the url fileserver.ph5hp.nl is a subdomain of ph5hp.nl which is on a server of my webside host.

Kind regards,

No, I don't have other security software... 2024-01-10 19:13 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:

you can try to run the following line in powershell, and see if it says success or failed

try {$listener = [System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener]443; $listener.Start(); Write-Host "Success"; $listener.Stop(); } catch { Write-Host "Failed: $_"; }

I do the same. I have a subdomain and via CName registration it is redirected to a subdomain on duckdns.org. On my computer I have a small program that updates my IP in duckdns when it changes. This works perfectly. Tested on port 80. The problem is when I run hfs.exe as it can't access port 443. Windows doesn't seem to let it and I don't know why.

While i'm a bit puzzled by your error message (not because of the spanish), on my system it works. So, at least know we know for sure it has nothing to do with hfs, but it's something on your system.

[afr-ux]

I try "netstat -ano" in command line and I get this: Conexiones activas Proto Dirección local Dirección remota Estado PID TCP 0.0.0.0:443 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4 TCP [::]:443 [::]:0 LISTENING 4 PID "4" in task managment is "system". But I don't know how can I unblock it. 2024-01-10 21:17 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:

i suggest this

Open Services
Right click on World Wide Web Publishing Service
Click STOP
To prevent this issue in future :

Go to Properties
Change Startup type to Manual

[afr-ux]

In the end I managed to solve it. Here is what worked for me. Using the following line in the command line: net stop http Several Windows services are stopped and it is now possible to use port 443. I have been testing them one by one until I found that the culprit is: The Routing and Remote Access service And, by running "services.msc" I was able to stop this service. Thank you so much! 2024-01-11 16:20 GMT+01:00, Massimo Melina ***@***.***>:
