I need to listen on HTTPS - SSL on port other than 443, I don't see any way to do it.
the reason I don't use TCP load balancing is that the load balancer listen on SSL and the backend listen on HTTP (works great on AWS). any idea? enter image description here

Is there any particular reason in why you would want to do this? Port 443 is a pretty standard listening port for HTTPS connections. – ScottMcC
Yes, historical reasons. it is an API entry-point and I'm moving from AWS – Maoz Zadok
I would recommend to move this question to Serverfault.- Have you try changing the field Port for the one you need? – Katie Sinatra
I did try, nothing there. only 443 – Maoz Zadok

It is not possible at the moment, constraint is listed in REST API reference documentation, see at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/globalForwardingRules

portRange string

This field is used along with the target field for TargetHttpProxy, TargetHttpsProxy, TargetSslProxy, TargetTcpProxy, TargetVpnGateway, TargetPool, TargetInstance.

Applicable only when IPProtocol is TCP, UDP, or SCTP, only packets addressed to ports in the specified range will be forwarded to target. Forwarding rules with the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair must have disjoint port ranges.

Some types of forwarding target have constraints on the acceptable ports:

TargetHttpProxy: 80, 8080

TargetHttpsProxy: 443

TargetTcpProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222

TargetSslProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222

TargetVpnGateway: 500, 4500
