      Hello,

      I did some searching: I am trying to run haproxy on my firewall listening to the wan ip address. But my browser is receiving a 300 redirect to https://...:8443/ which is my admin page. I am certain I am not using my lan ip address in my browser, and my browser is via my cell phone tethering.

      I have the "Disable webConfigurator redirect rule" checked, but this changes nothing. I have cleared my browser's cache.

      This is pfsense 2.4.4-p2. I have my webgui bound to https port 8443.

      What am I missing?
      Thank you for your time...

      --jason

        If you disabled the option to redirect, then it has to be a redirect cached by your browser.

        Try a different browser, or private/incognito mode.

          It works now. It's funny how I used incognito mode on chrome, and a cache zapper in place and still had the problem: browsers are tenacious at caching info...

          Thank you for your time Jim!

            The HSTS cache can be a bit extra tricky to get rid of also.. Instructions for most browsers can be found though.
