networking - Associate DNS name with web server on non-standard port

I have a router that I am trying to run an SSL VPN over. When I go to set up the login page it is set to run over port 4430 by default. This is good because we already have another service at that address running over port 80 and 443. So when I navigate to https[:]//[Public IP]:4430 I get the login page but it is not a secure connection and I will not run this VPN if I cannot make it secure.



So I would like to give it a DNS name like VPN.Company.com so that I can go and get a cert for it but I am not sure how to associate the DNS with a non-standard port. I know A records can only be associated with an address so how do I set it up where the DNS name for VPN.Company.com resolves to https[:]//[Public IP]:4430?



NOTE: Currently DNS is not configured on the device, is this something that I would need to set up on the device?
