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

          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 !?

                    try this:

                    1. disable portforward for your pfsense webmin
                    2. 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.

                          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.

                            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.
