      I was trying to change my cable modem and was having trouble so I went back to the original. Now after re-powering all my devices I get the following when trying to log into my pfSense box. I am running 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2.

      An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.30.1:441. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

      I can get out to the internet just find on my computer(s) but not into my pfSense box.

      Anyone have any ideas?

      Thanks,
      -TAC

        This fixed it:

        The web server is sending non-secure (HTTP) data where secure (HTTPS) data is expected by Firefox. This can be confirmed by going to http://server-name:443 instead of https://server-name.

          Check your port number : 441 seems very non-default to me.

          How is this server related to pfSense firewall/router ?

            I was getting this error when logging into my pfSense box, IP 192.168.30.1:441. When I changed from https:// to http:// I could get in.

              So you set the port number to "441" instead of the default "443".
              Ok, why not. But, btw : why ?
              In that case you can not use "https://your.pfsense.tld" which default to "https://your.pfsense.tld:443" (your browser will use port 443 if you didn't gave supplied one in the URL like "https://your.pfsense.tld:443").

              This means the "error" you saw is normal. If you set another non default port number, you should use it in every URL without exceptions.

                  I had this happen to me recently after a power outage.
                  For some reason it changed the webConfigurator protocol to http/
                  I logged in using http and my custom port and changed it back to https/
