Can access router through serial port but cannot get into webconfigurator
Hello - I have a Pfsense 2.3.4 ITX Firewall Router 1-WAN 3-LAN 1-wireless Access Point (Patch 1) on the 'nanobsd' platform… I've used it for 3 years now. Recently, I've been working on VLAN and OpenVPN when I lost access to the webConfigurator. I've reset the router to factory setting settings and rebooted several times. I have a backup that I want to restore the router to, but can't get into WebConfigurator. Now I can get into the Serial Interface / Terminal session (Screenshot included) but cannot access the webconfigurator through 192.168.1.1 or any other ip address I may use) the connection just times out. I can access the internet through this router.
If anyone has suggestions about what I could check, I would really appreciate it.
I may be the proud owner of a fragged router...
Thanks!

Did you undo all the VLAN configuration you were playing with in the switch too? Traffic has to arrive on the LAN port untagged.
Connect a workstation/laptop directly to the LAN port.
Be sure DHCP server is running. It will be in a default configuration.

Have you previously assigned a static IP to the PC/client you are using to try and access the webconfig with or is DHCP assigning the IP?
If I remember right when I was trying to help you before your LAN subnet was 192.168.10.0 and now it is 192.168.1.0.
Maybe your PC/client is still set to the 192.168.10.0 subnet so it cant access 192.168.1.0 subnet?
I am probably wrong but it might be worth checking.

I was able to get back into the router after setting my static IP address (and then unsetting it afterwards). I was able to restore my router using a backup to the point BEFORE I tried to implement OpneVPN.
This issue is resolved. Thank you all for your help.
