Polling Tentacles over standard HTTPS port

Octopus Deploy has updated its deployment targets to allow Polling Tentacles to use the standard HTTPS port 443 instead of the previously used unassigned port 10943, which often caused security concerns and required lengthy firewall exception approvals. This update, available from Polling Tentacle version 6.3.417 or later, involves configuring a second URL with a reverse proxy to reroute Polling Tentacle traffic, allowing firewall rules to only require port 443 open for outgoing traffic. This change is particularly beneficial for Octopus Cloud customers, but it can also be applied to self-hosted Octopus Deploy instances with certain configurations. The new setup is backward compatible with existing systems using port 10943, enabling a mix of configurations during transitions.
