Its generally a good idea only to open ports that necesarry (eg. 80 for http, 21 for ftp, etc..). Opening up unnecesarry ports and/or running unnecesarry services just opens your server up to security vulnerabilities. In your case I don't really understand what you're trying to do. For a web server using SSL you only have to allow inbound traffic to port 443, you don't need port 80 open unless it also serves up unencrypted pages. If you want/need to use IPSEC you will need to allow inbound traffic on the UDP port 500 and allow IP protocols 50 and 51(not ports 50 and 51).
