      I'm looking at installing some PFsense units at various sites & would like to know what is the advised method of remote GUI access? The primary focus being security & that I'll be connecting from different IP's , but always within the same country.

      My goto would be to setup Open VPN server on PFS, & VPN to the local site LAN , as I already have the client software on my laptop.

      Thank you :)

        Yup, connect over VPN is most secure method and hence the recommended one.
