Pound stopped working after fedora update

Question

I am using Fedora 20 and recently did a yum update. Now I can't get pound to work anymore. No real errors but just refuse connection:

Following output are copy and pastes from different times but output is always same except pid and time.

[root@mymachine me]#  wget --no-check-certificate --debug --verbose https://localhost
Setting --verbose (verbose) to 1

I can wget http:[stack complains about links//]localhost:80 (varnish) and wget http:[stack complains about links//]localhost:8080 (apache) I'm using a self signed pem file that can be found (no errors there), before I would have the "get me out of here" and "I know what I'm doing" from the browser but now it won't even connect with wget on localhost.

This is the /etc/pound.cfg:

User "pound"
Group "pound"
Control "/var/lib/pound/pound.cfg"


ListenHTTPS
    Address 128.199.217.77
    Port    443
    Cert    "/var/www/html/test.pem"
        Service
            BackEnd
                Address localhost
                Port    80
            End
        End
End

It was an iptables problem. Added the rule to open port 443 with the iptables command, rules are not saved in any way when doing so. Used firewall-cmd instead:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https
firewall-cmd --reload
firewall-cmd --list-services

When using wget you can't use localhost as pound isn't listening there, the command should be:

[root@mymachine me]#  wget --no-check-certificate --debug --verbose https://my.ip.address
