Perhaps you can force https in apache?

From what I’ve seen you can only force it in https if they can hit the server via http first, which of course they can’t. 🙁
Ah, it appears that you have completely disabled http (80). Instead, you could allow http to reach certain redirects in Apache, like this:
<VirtualHost <IP Adress>:80>
ServerName domain.com
Redirect 301 / https://domain.com
</VirtualHost>

unfortunately they won’t allow 80 through the firewall at all, even for just a redirect. 🙁

I did go through the old MU forums. Most of the suggestions don’t help in my case, since they involve redirecting things to https from http.
I’ve tried the other solutions in those posts, and none of them worked.
However after jacking with my database a whole lot, I’ve found what I need to change. I just have to change the url in each Site’s DB entry. Just sucks that I have to do that each time I create a new site.
I didn’t know that port 80 was blocked by the firewall, and in that case redirecting will be tough…
Hacking the database isn’t necessary I think, as I suspect you can also change the Site URL from ‘SuperAdmin > Sites > <choose one> > Site Options > Siteurl.

For some reason changing it from SA > sites > Site options > site url is not sticking.
Same is try when i go to the site options from the actual site itself.
I had that yesterday as well. For me it helped to untick “Update siteurl and home as well.”

unchecking that box fixed it.
Thank you very much.
