      @northwarks said in Can't load Web GUI when WAN is down:

      I can't SSH into the box but port 22 is up, it just times out.

      Insist on having this one working.
      The ssh is as important as the GUI.

      ssh is running ?

      ps ax | grep '/sshd
      

      Listens to port 22 ?

      netstat | grep 'ssh'
      

      Connect from LAN, the default firewall that (was), there permits the access.

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

        So an update, after a week of issues I've narrowed this down to pfBlockerNG-devel/DNS issues. I've removed pfBlockerNG-devel and reverted to AdGuard Home and I've had a stable WAN connection and box for 3 days. I did notice this and wasn't sure if that was a contributing factor:

        https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/88wg6g/issue_with_pfblockerng_dnsbl_and_cloudflares_1111/

        @Rico - I made these changes and it made no difference when DNS was down or been blocked by pfBlockerNG-devel

        So thanks all for the help and pointers, all really useful and I defiantly improved my knowledge of PFSense and DNS over the last week!
