      Hi all
      i have same problem .. but in a different way
      i have a problem with the ISP and get together and fix it
      then i restore the last configuration file .. suddenly i can not access the pfsense gui throw https and the openVPN also
      I try to access from a different PC and it works fine ..
      Now i can not access to internally or externally .
      also i am not a high tech person .. i am just a network engineer and a little bit of security .. so i dont know any thing about SSL , certificates

        Hi,

        Click on

        843d4fdc-7408-4ee2-9cf1-fa255668c248-image.png

        and you see what cert is used by pfSense, what SAN, if the dates are ok, etc.

        This :

        @jimp said in SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE when accessing the webGUI from Firefox:

        You can make a fresh GUI cert from the console with current best defaults with pfSsh.php playback generateguicert

        will generate a new cert.
        Firefox won't trust it at first, but you can overreirde this. because you know that "https://192.168.1" or "https://my-pfsense.my-network.tld" IS your pfSese and not some hacked site.

        You can also use the console access to reset GUI access, so that http://192.168.1.1 is useable, so you can inspect with the GUI what the issue is.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??
