      Hello all,
      there is a way to move anti-lockout rule from LAN1 to LAN2? My Netgate 4100 is installed on LAN2, but I don't see any possibility to move the above rule. Thank you.

        Go to your LAN, take a screen shot of the anti lock out rule, and then switch to LAN2, create a rule yourself, and make sure its on top ?!

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Are you telling me that there is no possibility of moving the rule? Very strange that no one has thought of that.
          Anyway, thanks.

            Not really.
            For historical reasons, routers, firewalls etc, the LAN interface is the interface used by the admin.
            And maybe, but rarely, some other people / equipment.
            All the other users / devices, who do not have to administer the router firewall, are attached to other LAN type interfaces.

            I created one myself for a LAN type interface :

            The Alias Admin_access is :

            because my pfSEnse uses SSH = port 22 and the GUI uses https = port 443.

              @Airone-0 The rule is to make sure a admin doesn't lock themselves out of the firewall.. But you can for sure as @Gertjan mentioned create your own allow rules to access pfsense gui and or ssh from some other network/vlan

              And then if you so desire disable that built in lock out rule on the lan interface..
