3 years ago AFAIK, ports 0-1023 is "well-known" or "system" ports. On Unix-like systems the process should be running as root to be able to use one of them.

If I have to run the service as root to get 443 to work, then I will just use a reverse proxy. Thanks. You can close the ticket.
qBittorrent version and Operating System
qBittorrent v4.3.4.1 & Ubuntu 20.04
If on linux, libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version
libtorrent-rasterbar10 Version 1.2.13+git20210323.34a979720b-1ppa1~20.04
What is the problem
Can't change the WebUI port to 443 in the WebUI and if I change the port to 443 in the service and config file, the service won't start. If I try to save the port change in the WebUI, I get the error "Unable to save program preferences, qBittorrent is probably unreachable." and then I get logged out of the webpage.
What is the expected behavior
Changing the port to 443 is works.
Steps to reproduce
Login to web UI and try to change the port to 443 after specifying the Certificate path.
Extra info(if any)
I have a wildcard certificate for my domain that is valid and is correctly pathed and works and is showing correctly on the webpage as secured. I can change the port to anything but 443. I've checked the server and nothing else is using 443 and nothing is bound to it.
This is the error I get after reloading the daemon and restarting the service.
