WEBGUI not responding accessing over wan

Piplfox

Off course I ve made NAT port forward and created firewall rules and both of setting you sad are disabled, but the strange thing is that I can reach site of web gui because it ask me to select Continue to this website (not recommended) - website's security certificate and when I select to continue it just reloading indefinitely.

You do not need a NAT port forward to reach the GUI from the WAN. Remove it, and it will likely start working.

Piplfox

Nope this didnt help. Now I dont even recive cert. error page.

podilarius

can you screen shot your rules? please make sure that the NAT for this is removed (port forward or 1:1). If there is any outbound NAT created for this, please remote it also. You will need a rule for HTTP if you are using non-secure web and HTTPS for secured access. If you want to utilize the redirect, you will need both.

I had problems too with standard ports. After reading and trying lots of configurations finally i got it work with
one TCP rule to Firewall:
Port 80 does not work to me !?

Didn´t get your point does the rules work or do you have problems with this ?

Piplfox

I ve still have the problem and rulles working fine on otheri site with other pfsense box.

try this:

disable portforward for your pfsense webmin
create a rule on wan:


Action: Pass
Disabled: unchecked
Interface: WAN
Protocol: TCP
Source: any (or if you want to determine allowed ip's then you could put it here)
Source port: any
Destination: your public ip ( or use aliases )
Destination port: what is your https/http port
Description: firewall management

I use aliases: Firewall_mgmt_ips & Firewall_mgmt_ports

it just works

Wow, I've never gotten the webgui to work from the wan side for AGES! I had a port forward rule as well as an access rule. The odd things is
it works the other way with Monowall, which is what I used to use before moving to pFsense.

Metu69salemi

So this is solved?

Piplfox

I finaly solved the problem. It wasnt problem with setup on pfsense. The problem was with ADSL line. Internet provider made some changes on their side and now everthing works fine . The problem have been with some https traffic.

@Metu69salemi:

So this is solved?

No, this for some reason has never worked for me. Hasn't worked on a Dell server, laptop and Soekris box. It starts to open the the Webgui very slowly then it crashes.
For whatever reason I never have an issue with Monowall. I assume you configure remote access the same way on both platforms.

Piplfox- 13.10.1.0/8 is a routable public address and shouldn't be used on LAN unless your the user of that subnet… It has the possibility of causing you problems.

Heres a screenshot of the rule on my test box... I use a nonstandard port on my production boxes...

as pointed out already... You should have no port forwarding turned on for this rule.
