Hello, I needed to close my outgoing traffic in port 80. After if, all websites that use ssl get offline (timeout). I could see that a ssl website need to access external content by port 80. I think that certificate ssl need to get some information. Is that a way to change it? Best regards Joao

  Hello, I"m sorry for my english. My DC sent me notification that my server was attack other servers using port 80 (brute force attack in wordpress websites). While I don"t find the script that was making the attack, I closed my port 80 outgoing traffic. Best regards Joao
