      Hi All,

      Just installed pfSense on a VPS (Vultr)

      When I'm in the control panel and when I start the server I can access the server though a VNC console.

      I reach the console menu without any login and password.
      Is there any tuning to prevent that.
      However when I HTTPS or SSH the server I need to give my credentials.

      Thanks

        Hi All,
        Found out the solution.
        Following a fresh install by default the console menu is not login and password protected.
        Anyway go to System/Advanced/Admin Access
        In the Console options check the Password protect the console menu
        Cheers

          My understanding is that the console is only accessible via your 'very secure' vultr username & password?

          So while it's a potential risk, it shouldn't be a major problem during setup & provisioning.

          But definitely appreciate the link for securing this.

          Do you have any feedback on pfsense on Vultr, long-term?

          and given up on the SG-1000
