      I am using pfsense 2.6 on a Proxmox VM

      I need some configuration that enables access denial after 3 failed logins from a user trying to login thru WAN.

      Which is the best way to do it?

      Thanks!

        That's done by default after 15 failed login attempts. That's not configurable.

        Still, you shouldn't leave the GUI (or any management interface of any sort on any device) open WAN-side, that's asking for trouble.
