      When updating (full install) to Dec. 1st snap, I am getting these errors on boot. [Please ignore the HAVP errors as I am working with dvserg about them].
      Noticed also, I can not browse the web, so I rolled back to the 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Mon Nov 29 17:36:11 EST 2010 .

          Yes me too.. didn't have any connectivity from lan -> wan, but lan -> vpn worked.
          Pfsense itself had connectivity:

          I removed the whole line that adds this webconfigurator rule in filter.inc and everything was fine.

            Hello

            Today upgraded (Auto Update) and got the same problem. There were no traffic from LAN > WAN but i was able to ssh into pfSense from outside.

            Removing the line as mxx says, solved the problem.  :)

            Best.

              Where is the file that I need to edit. I SSH into my pfSense box, cd /tmp and then vi rules.debug I then delete the line stated my mxx, save the file with :q! and then reboot the pfsense box. The line keeps coming back.

              Sorry for being a noob.

                Hi, I did this…

                (Changed "$webConfiguratorlockoutport" to "88") in /etc/inc/filter.inc:

                $ipfrules .= "block in log quick proto tcp from <webconfiguratorlockout>to any port {$webConfiguratorlockoutport} label "webConfiguratorlockout"\n";

                To:

                $ipfrules .= "block in log quick proto tcp from <webconfiguratorlockout>to any port { 88 } label "webConfiguratorlockout"\n";

                Now it seems to work just fine. I've set port 88 to configurate pfsense.</webconfiguratorlockout></webconfiguratorlockout>

                      I fixit.

                      Modify /etc/inc/filter.inc

                      2051 line

                      	if(!isset($config['webgui']['port'])) {
		if($config['webgui']['protocol'] == "http") 
			$webConfiguratorlockoutport = "80";
		elseif($config['webgui']['protocol'] == "https") 
			$webConfiguratorlockoutport = "443";
	} else {
		$webConfiguratorlockoutport = $config['webgui']['port'];
	}

                      replace with

                      	if(!isset($config['system']['webgui']['port'])) {
		if($config['system']['webgui']['protocol'] == "http") 
			$webConfiguratorlockoutport = "80";
		elseif($config['system']['webgui']['protocol'] == "https") 
			$webConfiguratorlockoutport = "443";
	} else {
		$webConfiguratorlockoutport = $config['system']['webgui']['port'];
	}
