      I have phone working to access internet through WAP attached to OPT1.
      Blocked access OPT1 to LAN but notice can connect to pfsense GUI on phone by address of OPT1 or WAN.
      Obviously don't want random person getting at pfsense GUI even tho' would have to know WAP password and pfsense password.
      blocked on OPT1 any to OPT1 address and WAN address ports 22 80 443
      which seems to work.
      Question is would it be better to block pfsense GUI access in webserver config ?
      How to do that ?

          Yes, do that. Though you can use the system alias 'This Firewall' as shown in that link and it will cover all IPs on the firewall itself.
