I use several proxies and filtering products, a lot of filtering done at
the domain level, not the protocol. The greatfirewall of china uses this
method and many others, most filters I've encountered can use DNS and or
protocols. Port 443 hardly get's a pass just because it's 443 in my
experience with repressive regimes.

say I don't support the use of HTTPS for any website, esp openwall, I'd
love to see HTTPS.
