Anyone know why someone would use port 443 for anything other than https?
Some ISPs block other ports, so if you want to host something, that might be your best option.

For example, in China the film industry censors LGBT-related films. Filmmakers must resort to finding funds from international investors such as the "Ford Foundations" and or produce through an independent film company.
Good read. Fuck censorship. Fuck the CCP.

Sometimes mandatory web proxies still allow direct connections to port 443 so as to not break https, which in return means as long as your connection is to port 443, that proxy will pass it through without interfering.
I used to run sshd on port 443 for this reason back when I regularly had to work from client networks.

Enjoy the freedom of having the likes of Meta and Google pull another Cambridge analytica. Or the freedom of having multi-billion dollar companies like YouTube aggressively push algorithms that steer people down the alt right pipeline. Or the freedom of instagram mechanically and ruthlessly instilling in children as much body dysphoria and low self esteem as possible in the name of profit.
It was literally only two years ago that Meta
wasgot caught promoting racial violence in Myanmar. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/Any reasonable person can look at the heinous acts carried out by western tech companies in recent years and realize that the great firewall has been vindicated.

Activist group Great Firewall Report spotted the outage, which it said disrupted all traffic to TCP port 443 – the standard port used for carrying HTTPS traffic.
“Between approximately 00:34 and 01:48 (Beijing Time, UTC+8) on August 20, 2025, the Great Firewall of China (GFW) exhibited anomalous behavior by unconditionally injecting forged TCP RST+ACK packets to disrupt all connections on TCP port 443,” the group wrote in a Wednesday post.
That disruption meant Chinese netizens couldn’t reach most websites hosted outside China, which is inconvenient. The incident also blocked other services that rely on port 443, which could be more problematic because many services need to communicate with servers or sources of information outside China for operational reasons. For example, Apple and Tesla use the port to connect to offshore servers that power some of their basic services.
UK govt salivating over this

But… How else will the tankies receive their brainwashing?! Think of the poor propaganda being hurt by this madness!

Yeah they don't understand this stuff. They don't even know what a VPN is they're just angry about it.
Actually doing this would be devastating to the economy, and anyway they still need to justify their actions. They can't be openly dictatorial just yet.
-
I think they just copy paste this stuff.
You can tell because it's a completely non-sequitur. They don't even bother tailing their ramblings to the conversation currently being had. They just control + c, control + v it into place, and then act like they've achieved something.

What a trash headline. Makes it sound like they dropped a new iron curtain or something.

I wonder if this means less cheaters in multiplayer games.

Chinese government sanctioned groups can and will still access the broader internet.
