WEBGUI not responding accessing over wan

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:

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 · Oct 29, 2011, 10:52 PM

So this is solved?

Piplfox · Nov 3, 2011, 1:17 PM

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.
