Access after changing WebConfigurator port
-
Just a quick question that has me stumped. I've Googled and also looked it up in two different pfsense book (the cookbook and one other one). Thanks in advance.
I see that I can change the webConfigurator's port from the default as a "security through obscurity" measure. If I do that, how do I then access the webConfigurator? I'm assuming I enter the IP in the URL field, followed by a colon and the new port number (example: https://192.168.100.1:5985) but I'd like to verify that. It's weird that this is not documented anywhere.
Thanks again!

That is some really basic stuff.. Not sure why that would be an issue for documentation?
Its not really documented what the difference between a /24 and /23 is either. You would normally assume someone using such a device has some basic understanding of networking, etc.
But yes if your change your https port to 5985 then yes https://ipaddressorhostname:port would be the correct way to access the webgui on this new port. How else might you access it? ;)

Thanks! I know it's rather basic but I didn't want to assume anything and end up locking myself out, figured it was better to verify it just in case.
