Yes, there are differences. While the core troubleshooting steps are similar, HTTPS sensors require ensuring the SSL certificate is valid and correctly configured. Problems with certificate chain validation, self-signed certificates, or incorrect certificate paths can lead to connection refusal. Also, ensure the PRTG server trusts the certificate authority (CA) that issued the HTTPS certificate.
