Yes. Keep in mind two things: 1. the script(1) output file will not be complete until you exit the subshell console session it creates for you, and 2. the output file will have control characters in it -- particularly carriage return characters. These and any backspaces can be removed for clarity with the col(1) utility, using a command such as $ col -b < input.file > output.file or $ cat input.file | col -b > output.file.

Is it possible that pf doesn't like 1195 and its blocking it, whereas 443, being a more standard port, is allowed?
Not unless you've provisioned it. By default -- which I assume you are using -- PF blocks stateless traffic, blocks incoming X Terminal traffic, and blocks any network traffic by the user that builds packages from the Ports tree. See your /etc/pf.conf file for this default provisioning.
