Plex connect and VPN issues

Dev Community Apps & Creations

Just enabled VPN connections (incoming) on my Windows 7 PC which also hosts PMS and Plex Connect.  I made changes to the config as per the plex connect wiki which apparently allows the 2 to cohabit, settings.cfg looks like:

 

[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = False << Disabled this
ip_pms = 192.168.1.100 << Added this
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = False << Disabled this
ip_plexconnect = 192.168.1.100 << Added this
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = ./assets/certificates/trailers.pem
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
 
Error I get when starting plex connect is:
Failed to connect to HTTPS on 192.168.1.100 port 443 :[ Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its permissions
 
I suspect something else (VPN) is using 443.  How do I get around this?
 
Thanks!!

the ATV only talks over port 53, 80 and 443, so you cant actually get around the issue form Plexconnect, can the VPN be configured so that its not using this port? Otherwise you need to be able to Proxy the 443 traffic, but that's not something VPN software would normally be able to do.
