      My system log has several events:

      nginx: 2019/07/27 07:55:08 [error] 62756#100109: *18417 open() "/usr/local/www/wpad.dat" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.10.2, server: , request: "GET /wpad.dat HTTP/2.0", host: "router.example.com"

      I am using a let's encrypt cert on the pfsense webgui.

      Any ideas what might be going on?

            that's the problem ☺
            It's probably just some client trying to fetch /wpad.dat over http from your pfsense, i don't think it's something to worry about
