      I've setup a 6-zone PFSENSE firewall for the local library (see text diagram below).

      The WebGUI is setup as HTTPS on TCP8445.

      LAN (the public network) can access the WebGUI at https://192.168.1.254:8445

      LAN2 (the staff network) can NOT access the WebGUI at https://192.168.10.254:8445

      What rules do I need to add so that:  LAN can NOT access the WebGUI and LAN2 CAN access the WebGUI?

      Currently general Internet access and local Web/Email are working for both LAN & LAN2.  I have the following rules setup:

      LAN (Rules)
      TCP  LAN net  *  192.168.3.20  80 (HTTP)  *
      *    LAN net    *    *                *            xxx.xxx.115.30

      LAN2 (Rules)
      *  LAN2 net  *  DMZ net  *  *
      *  LAN2 net  *  *              *      xxx.xxx.105.161

      I also have remote admin access setup for my IP (in case that matters):

      WAN2 (Rules)
      TCP  xxx.xxx.47.177  *  Interface IP address  8445  *

      And that works as expected.

      6-Zone PFSENSE (v1.2 02/24/2008)

      [WAN] xxx.xxx.115.29/29  -  [WAN2/OPT1] xxx.xxx.105.162/27
      [WIFI/OPT4] 10.1.1.254/24 (GW-WAN)  -  [DMZ/OPT3] 192.168.3.1/24 (GW-WAN2)
      [LAN] 192.168.1.254/24 (GW-WAN)  -  [LAN2/OPT2] 192.168.10.254/24 (GW-WAN2)

        You could just swap the use of the interfaces, however:

        1. Create a rule for LAN2 allowing access to the Interface IP on port 8445/TCP form the LAN2 subnet
        2. Under the Advanced Options select "Disable webGUI anti-lockout rule" and save
