      While debugging a telnet issue I read in this forum to:
      System > Advanced > Firewall & NAT >> 'Disable all packet filtering..'
      Now the firewall is blocking all kinds of things including access to the pf GUI.

      However, I have remote shell access.
      I can't find this setting in config .xml and don't know where to look.

      Can someone please tell me where I can change the "Disable all packet..." back to it's original value.
      Alternatively what I could change to get the GUI to load.

      I'm 2 hours to the server in the middle of winter and sure could use a helping hand.

      Thanks in advance.

        @itistudios That turns off the firewall completely. Doubtful it's causing your problem.
        Did you try option 11 in the console?

        If that doesn't work, disabling the firewall also disables NAT. Not sure if you're trying to access with a NAT'd port, so try pfctl -e from the command shell.

          Yes I did try option 11 and did it again same result 'Server not found'
          So i tried 'pfctl -e' and again unsuccessful.
          Thank you for those suggestions.
