        Please try to use punctuation….

        This forum provides a search function:

        in short: create a firewall rule on the WAN-firewallrule-tab with
        source any
        source-port any
        destination WAN-address
        destination-port webgui-port

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Are you sure that should work? As I recall it I had to put my pfSense LAN address as the target to get it to work (after also having added NAT).

          NAT
          –---
          WAN  TCP  88  192.168.0.1 88

          FW rule WAN

          TCP  nn.nn.nn.nn/22  *  192.168.0.1  88

          Is the above setup not ok? (I mean it works, but that doesn't mean it's "the right way" necessarily).

          TIA

            Your attampt should work.
            But dont set a source (i assume nn.nn.nn.nn/22 is your WAN subnet) otherwise you would have to be in this subnet to access the webgui.

              Yes I know, I have access enabled for one specific location and if I'm elsewhere I have to use VPN or RDP to another internal server first.

              Cheers,
