      I did an nmap scan internally of my external ip and showed 4343 open - what I had set pfsense admin panel to.
      I also saw 53 and 80 and maybe 443 open - Anything to worry about here?

        Yes, you need to worry about your lack of understanding the basics about firewalls/pfSense. But you can improve, start reading here: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/book/ so you might have a chance of not messing up your config/network.

          Nothing to worry about.
          No rules on the WAN interface : nothing get in - nothing can be seen from the outside.

          You should 'nmap' from the outside. Use something like https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            Firewall rules are by interface, not IP address.
