      Found a strange behavior.. Not sure if this a security issue, or if I messed with something in my configuration.
      From my WIFI vlan, I was able to open the pfsense GUI by using my WAN public address.

      To stop this, I had to create a firewall rule to block WIFI to WAN address.

      Is this a expected behavior?

        Yes. Block access to This Firewall (self).

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          Thanks for the reply Derelict.
          I have been configuring my firewall rules since a long time, just blocking access to internal networks, including subnets gateway, ports 80,443,22.
          Now, I will include block to wan address as well.
