        Hit count: 290
        
I've installed a new SSL certificate and set up Nginx to use it. But requests time out when trying to hit HTTPS on the site. When I telnet to my domain on port 80 it connects, but times out on port 443. I'm not sure if there's some defaults on Ubuntu preventing a connection.
UFW status shows:
443  ALLOW    Anywhere
netstat -a shows:
tcp        0      0 *:https                 *:*                     LISTEN  
nmap localhost shows:
443/tcp  open  https
The relevant block in the Nginx config is:
server {
    listen 443;
    listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
    listen 80;
    root /path/to/app;
    server_name mydomain.com
    ssl on;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl-bundle.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/server.key;
    location / {
      proxy_pass http://mydomain.com;
      proxy_set_header Host $host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}
