No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I've developed a web service which works by sending request to a third party API. Everything is fine if I work in visual studio, but if I host my web service in IIS and run the test application, I'm getting the error "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it [thirdparty ip]:443". If the third party server is refusing the request, how it works from my Visual studio?.
Any ideas???

May be Firewall is blocking the port 443. check the status of the port.

DO you want me to check my third party server?

I solved it myself, it's about the permission issue, outside IP was blocked by our IT team.
