Extending the ISA Firewall’s SSL Tunnel Port Range (2004)

Extending the ISA Firewall’s SSL Tunnel Port Range (2004)

Having problems connecting to SSL sites that use an alternate port number? No problem! Check out this article for an explanation of the problem and a quick fix.

I finally had a use for this fix. In the last year I had my two of my websites hacked so I decided to investigate ways to improve security. Some of the options I was looking at was sftp, ssl ftp, and accessing the files via a browser using https. UPdating the site using a browser with a SSL connection looked simple and easy but my firewall was stopping me from using the non-standard SSL port. This fixed my problem.
