 * Hello there,
    I am struggling for weeks now to make my admin dashboard in https.
   I installed your plugin (that looks nice with good support by the way) and did
   all the steps to install it. But when I save the settings (Force SSL admin and
   exclusively) It redirect me to the https page but i get the “connection refused”
   message by firefox.
 * Google Chrome tells me 112 ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
    I didn’t find any output in
   the console but maybe im doing something wrong somewhere.
 * PS: I have a public/private key pair on my server and located in /usr/local/apache2/
   conf/certs/ apache folder, i also enabled ssl with a2enmod ssl.
 * Thanks for any help!
