HTTPS
HTTPS is used for encrypted connections to a web server. It is a simple protocol to handle from the firewall point of view. Everything works the same way as with HTTP, except that HTTPS uses port 443 on the server instead of port 80.
This corresponds to the following service definition:
| Services | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Protocol | Firewall type | Client ports | Server ports |
| https | TCP | Dynamic session management | 1024-65535 | 443 |
Firewall rules configuration is the same as for HTTP, with the exception that the service https is used instead of http.
The http and https services are included in the predefined www service in Ingate Firewall.
