      For the life of me, i just can figure out why this is enabled. I have put explicit Firewall rules in WAN & have only 1 port forward & that too on a different port. Even then i'm able to log on to the webgui from outside the network.

      Any ideas why?

        It's blocked by default. Dunno what you are doing there, and from the looks at all that useless/duplicate OpenVPN/IPsec stuff there, you don't have a clue either.

          ok genius, not all like you were born with pfsense in their mouth.

          the 1st rule in WAN clearly says ports 443 etc are blocked. then how come i can still access it?

            and FYI, i set these rules AFTER i found out that i was able to access it from the web. so i do have some clue, not as pompous as yours though

              What is 10.10.10.1?  Why do you have a NAT rule forwarding 10.10.10.1:443 to 127.0.0.1:8443?  It looks like a pfBlocker rule but I can't say for sure.  If you have WebGUI listening on a port that you're trying to forward then the result is that WebGUI gets forwarded.  Move WebGUI to a different port or stop forwarding 443.

                    Resetting the states might have done the same thing without reinstalling, but at least it's working.

                      yup, but definitely something i messed up with. since i'm new to this, i was learning stuff i tried things. anyway this is for a home setup, so no one yelled. ;D

                        If you are trying to access from your own LAN then nothing you put in your WAN rules will affect that.
