      I'm having issues remotely connecting to my pfsense box.  I've enabled ssh in the options (system > Advaned > enable secure shell) and opened port 22 (just for testing, not going to keep it open, obviously) and I cannot connect VIA ssh to my pfsense box.  Any ideas?

        Do you see the connection attempt in tcpdump?

        Is there anything in the firewall logs (Status -> System logs, Firewall tab)?

        On which interface is the connection attempt arriving WAN or LAN or something else?
