          For security...you REALLY don't want to expose the GUI to the Internet.
          What is the problem with setting up a VPN for it?

                Well then we should check why the VPN is not working for you.

                  So pfsense is behind a nat router? Your going to have to give us some details of your setup if you want actual help with it.

                  To access the gui of pfsense, that is directly attached to the public internet on its wan there is no port forwards required... Only a wan rule that allows access to the port its listening on.

                  If your behind a nat router - then you would need to port forward on that device to the pfsense wan IP.. And if your trying to access this from internally as a "test" you would have to worry about nat reflection on your router in front of pfsense, etc. etc.

                  Opening up your pfsense gui to the public internet is just plain moronic!!! Unless you can limit it to a known source IP - its just stupid to think this is any way shape or form a good idea..

                        Yup. You should set a source IP (and an alias of IPs) to allow access from. Use a dyndns client if you don't know where you will be connecting from.
