      If you PM me your public IP that pfsense is on, I will see if I get a GUI interface from here.

      (NOTE - I don't actually think this is a good idea, but for the sake of testing, I'd do it)

              And are you sure it is working?

              Can you please show the main pfsense gui?

              The part where it talks about version under system information?

              Does it say "you are on the latest release" or some other message?

                      I have to sleep, so here is what you need to verify - pfsense can see the internet and also be seen.

                            Just so you, when I turn off firewall, see below I can connect to pfsense with http://pfsense public ip address.

                            Therefore, I need to create a firewall rule to allow access when the firewall is enabled….

                            Can you help with that?

                              You do not need to port forward to your LAN address.

                              Making a WAN rule to your WAN Address will work much easier.

                              Go back to my first post and try what I said.  Delete any port forwarding you have done with your GUI port (I assume 443)

                              I do this with every firewall I put in until I test the VPN from my location here.
