So when I am trying to run PlexConnect I am not getting it to open port 443.

Prior to be rebooting after having set up PC and PMS I had connection via HTTPS & Port 443.

Now I no longer have that, nothing else has changed in my setup.

I have recreated the cert files and tried setting PC up in a different folder, still with no success.

```
[PlexConnect]
enable_plexgdm = True
ip_pms = 192.168.1.65
port_pms = 32400
enable_dnsserver = True
port_dnsserver = 53
ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8
prevent_atv_update = True
enable_plexconnect_autodetect = True
ip_plexconnect = 0.0.0.0
hosttointercept = trailers.apple.com
port_webserver = 80
enable_webserver_ssl = True
port_ssl = 443
certfile = D:\PlexConnect-master\assets\certificates	railers.pem
loglevel = Normal
logpath = .
```

Either something is blocking port 443 for me, what I cannot find.

Or PlexConnect just doesnt' want to open that up for me.

Edit: Tried Swithcing ports between HTTP & HTTPS, HTTP opens up at port 443, HTTPS doesn't at port 80.

And I just redid the SSL certificate again and now it works.

THO.. not fully, I still get an issue with&nbsp; "Trailers is unavailable. Try again later." when I am trying to open up certain archives.

Actually this issue seems to reside with Plex Media server as those folders show up empty when browsign through them with the WEB UI.
