  2. Add port to firewall and restart
    $ firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=9443/tcp
    $ service firewalld restart

  3. Change port 443 to 9443 in Nginx and restart
    $ vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/privx.conf
    $ service nginx restart

  4. Add :9443 to addresses in PrivX and restart
    $ vi /opt/privx/etc/shared-config.toml

        listen                          9443 ssl http2;

        client_max_body_size            1M;

        ssl_protocols                   TLSv1.2;
        ssl_prefer_server_ciphers       on;
        ssl_ciphers                     'AESGCM+EECDH:AESGCM+EDH:AES+EECDH:AES+EDH:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:AES128-SHA:-DSS:-EDH';
        ssl_session_cache               shared:SSL:10m;
        ssl_certificate                 /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key             /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;
