        There is an open bug for that:

        Feel free to add anything there that isn't covered.

          Okay, thank you for your reply and the info

          Any way to edit a config file manually to force the change and bypass the gui?

            Not easily. It's not a config file issue but part of the script that applies the config.

            You could use a shellcmd to spoof it manually.

              Is this something that sticks through a reboot, or is this shell command required to force change after every boot sequence?

                Shellcmds get run at boot so this would be applied every time.

                https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/development/executing-commands-at-boot-time.html#shellcmd-option

                You can enter it in the config or use the shellcmd package to give you gui access as I am in the screenshot.

                  Awesome! Thank you! I will give this a try!
                  If results are undesirable, can this change be reverted?

                    You can just delete the shellcmd and reboot. I tested it here though and it seemed to work fine.
