I have port 80 blocked for all the opendental workstations in our office to prevent random surfing and accidental infections. Our staff cannot access the http://www.opendental.com/contact.html site when they need remote support. Port 443 is open and dental claims pass through without a problem.

Keeping with the spirit of open source, may I suggest https://letsencrypt.org/ for a free SSL certificate? The site access will be secure for everybody.

If it is too much work, is there another way of initiating a secure connection for remote support with code without opening port 80 on our office firewall?

You don't need to go to our contact page unless you forgot our number (which is 503-363-5432). Just click "Help > Remote Support with Code" from within Open Dental. It's faster than the website way anyway.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
