Miguel,

When using a reverse connect payload, you can also try setting the
following variable to something larger:

  Name           : ReverseConnectRetries
  Current Setting: 5
  Description    : The number of connection attempts to try before exiting the process

As you can see, the default setting is 5 tries. The maximum possible
value is currently 255. Hope this helps!

PS. I created ticket #2229 for your reverse_https_allports request.
