Hello :)

Proxy subdomains are not yet designed to work with SSL. However, in "WHM Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings", under "Security", you can enable:

"Require SSL for all remote logins to cPanel, WHM, and Webmail. Recommended."

This way, when a user accesses the non-secure proxy subdomain URL, they are redirected to the secure ports (albeit not port 443).

Thank you.

I could not find an existing feature request for this in our new feature request system. I recommend opening a feature request for true SSL support with proxy subdomains:

Thank you.

But this removes the benefit of the proxy subdomains, they can then not be accesses from behind a firewall.
If there is a firewall blocking ports except regular http 80 and https 443, it is not possible in any way to connect to cpanel,whm,webmail securely ?

Thank you

That is correct. Proxy subdomains are not designed to work over port 443. Thus, cPanel/WHM/Webmail are accessible over port 80, but not using https. I recommend opening a feature request for this.

Thank you.
