      i have internet to everything on the switch and i can ssh into pfsense through any computer. just for some reason i cant bring up the web gui. my firewall rules are just the stock setting. so all ipv4 and ipv6 traffic can go though the LAN port. i think it has to do with turning the the MDIX opt on  in the switch so that i can get internet through to the switch.  i did take a wireshark capture of my comptuer trying to access the web gui if that will help any.

        I haven't look recently but isn't there an option on the console for turning on/off and restarting the Web GUI?  You might give that a try.

              Try http (port 80) instead of https (port 443).

                  Well at least you're getting back an ack.

                  Try resetting to factory defaults.  Console option 4.

                      Try a different client and also a different browser.

                            Hello,
                            I am having the same issue. Where my Wan IP shows as 0.0.0.0 . And I have already contacted Cox about resetting the mac address. And it didn't fix it.

                              I know this is old but i had this problem, and it ending being a NIC issue. The Computer has 4 IGB intel nics, I had to add an intel EM nic and it fixed my problem for my WAN interface with Google fiber.
