      @silence Good morning! I think you are offering remote help, right?
      What sort of access to my network would you have? I don't mean to sound untrusting, but because of the work I do, I'm not allowed to give any outside person or entity access to any of my systems or internal network. I can allow access to the pfsense system, if that's what you are suggesting. How would we do it? What sort of connection or software?
      I would really appreciate any help!

          @silence Sorry, that would give you access to my desktop and network. I can't allow that. :(
          Thanks so much for the offer, though. I'm so close to getting this sorted out!

            @elmojo, If you want you can allow access only in pfsense (creating a rule in your wan like this for example) Firewall> rules> Wan> Permit 190.166.216.65

              @silence What would that "permit"? Is that 190.166 address your public IP, or just an example?
              I'm sorry, I don't follow what that rule would do. I'm game to try it if it gives you access to only the pfsense box, but I don't see how it would work. Sorry, it's Monday and I'm slow. Besides, I'm learning all this from scratch. Please be patient with me. 🙄

                @elmojo, yes my WAN IP PUBLIC !

                Only Acess Remote to you pfsense (website)

                I would need you to create a user just to monitor your firewall logs.

                      @silence sorry for the delay, was on the phone with my office.
                      I have no idea if I did the user right. Let me know.

                                  @silence Done. Is it working now?
                                  I'm okay with you having dashboard access temporarily.
                                  I just can't give you full network access. I trust that you won't jack up my configuration too badly and lock me out or anything. :)

                                      @elmojo, With this I adjust this giving access specifically to those who need an iT support to help you.

                                      You are not granting full root access to anything.

                                          @elmojo, Don't worry, it's going to be certified in pfsense from here.

                                          Can I log in now?
