      Hi,

      I have setup a web server with virtual hosts on a DMZ. I have also NAT port forward 80 & 443 to my DMZ. From another internet connection I can access my site correctly.

      However, when I'm on my LAN and i type my domain example.com or use my WAN IP I got my pfsense GUI. I tried changing the GUI port from 443 to something else. But after that I try example.com and the browser just adds the port e.g. example.com:10 and I get this message:

      Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding
      Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname.

      I know it has something to do with pfSense GUI but I only want to be able to view the GUI for pfSense when I enter in pfsense ip:port.

      Any help would be great.

      Cheers

        Try to enter the IP address of your web server into your browser.
        When that works have a look at your DNS resolution, e.g. ping your web server by FQDN and look which IP you get.

        Which version pfSense are you using?
        If 2.2, are you using DNS forwarder or DNS resolver?
