Unable to access Web Configurator
-
I have suddenly lost the ability to connect to the webConfigurator on my pfSense firewall. I can SSH and ping it without issues, but cannot access it via the browser (Safari & Chrome on Mac were tried, as well as IE on Windows).
I’ve tried restarting the webConfigurator and PHP-FPM, no luck. The firewall is also working just fine….I just can’t access it using browser.
Firewall is running as a VM on VMWare ESXi.
Any recommendations thoughts on what else to check?

si your browser pointing to some proxy?

Did you just upgrade to 2.3.3?
I did and the next day, I did have Internet connectivity, but could not connect to pfsense.
It came out to be Suricata blocking my Untangle box (acting as a router after my pfsense box), but why all the sudden?
Seems that new Suricata rules came with 2.3.3 (why were they not there in 2.3.2p1?) that do a lot of checks in TCP, re-transmissions, etc.So, you either configure Suricata to have one of your PCs, whitelisted, or you wait for the period that Suricata blocks a host, or reboot pfsense and
go check the Suricata blocks and start disablinc the rules that caused the problem. -
What pfSense version?
What is the browser response message?

No proxy, upgraded to 2.3.3….and I think Suricata was running. Safari just says it can’t open the page
is there a way to configure or remove Suricata via cli? I will look a the manuals/doc....but if someone know of the top, would appreciate the tip :-)

See my post here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=126118.0
The 'pkg update -f' and 'pkg upgrade -f' commands did the trick. I'm back in the GUI and running fine.

Has nothing to do with Suricata if you can ping/access it via SSH. Is nginx running? Does it listen on port you are trying to access?
Perhaps try with a different browser.
