      Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding
      Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname.

      hi I bought a domain today
      and I have made a record that points to my ipadress Wan porten on Pfsens but now I get this message where do I get rid of it
      the plan is that i will make a sub domain for pfsen's web interface
      and one for VPN

      pf.mydomane.dk
      vpn.mydomane.dk

        @thebonden First, I recommend not exposing your router web GUI to the Internet. When we do this for clients, we allow the connection only from our office IP.

        You can go to the System/Advanced/Admin Access page and either 1) check "Disable DNS Rebinding Checks" or 2) enter the hostname and/or IP in the "Alternate Hostnames" field.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          If the firewall is actually configured with that FQDN it won't throw that warning.
