      I'm getting a 503 while accessing the webConfigurator when both LAN & WAN are VLANs on a single interface.

      If I configure the WAN vlan only then I can access the gui just fine…

      pfSense is running within a KVM VM with virtIO NIC bound to openvswitch trunk - all VLANs are tagged.
      My openvswitch config is correct and I have no issues communicating with other VM.

      Anyone have ideas what's causing this?

        Misconfiguration of your vlans.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Sounds like there is a wall of fire preventing your getting to the WebGUI.

            Hey Guys (and Gals?),

            I appreciate the feedback, but…

            VLANs are OSI layer 2 and firewalls operate at layer 3 - HTTP operates at layer 7...

            The 503 response received from the HTTP server indicates both layer 2 and 3 are functional.

            That said...

            I just reinstalled from the latest ISO and everything is working as expected.

            I'll chalk it up to cruft in my pfSense config, lol :-)
