Would 443 be considered a good port to use when creating a socket?
3 Answers. It really depends on what type of firewall is set up. If the ports are just blocked, then pretty much anything can run on ports 80 and 443. I have used this myself to get an ssh session to my home computer over port 80 when stuck behind a firewall at work.
How do you unblock port 443?

Can you use port 443 without SSL connection?
If you connect to https://example.com it will make a HTTPS request to port 443. If you are try connecting to a port not running SSL/TLS with the HTTPS protocol you’ll get a SSL connection error.
How to disable SSL for non-SSL traffic?
Since the webapp has no build-in method to drop the SSL-requirement (or more precisely, the webapp expects ‘SSL-traffic’ to be comming in through a separate vhost listening to the same subdomain), I thought that the easiest solution would be to just disable the SSL and keep (unecrypted) traffic running over port 443.
What’s the difference between port 80 and port 443?
That doesn’t sound terribly easy to me. Clients (and I assume we’re talking about browsers here) expect http traffic to be served over port 80, and https traffic over 443. In order to change this to http over 443, that’s going to require that you change your URL scheme to http, and then explicitly specify the port on each URL.
Is it safe to use web root for port 443?
It depends on where the web root for port 443 is configured to look on your server. If this is the same location as your normal website then this could be a risk if there are certain items that need to be secured via configuration that is missing on this second webroot’s setup.
