        Set the webinterface of the pfSense to a different port than 80.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          Go to "System- Advanced- down to Network Address Translation - Uncheck "Disable NAT Reflection".  Id reboot the box to make sure it takes but you may not need to…

          My box is still set to port 80. I see my webserver fine by looking at my domain name...

          Triggering snowflakes one by one..
          Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590T CPU @ 2.00GHz on an M400 WG box.

            You should assume that something may not work as intended when you use an IP# not existent on the network you're in (LAN), as a general reflection. You need something, routing, FW-rules etc then. NAT reflection I don't use, I enter overrides for domains instead, I think that's more straightforward and it's easily checked in the table if something isn't working (client side issues apart).

            I would guess you should be able to port forward ext 80 to your internal www-server: <any port="">even if pfSense uses the same port, but I have changed mine any way so I don't know. You can't make adminGUI exportable though with same port and IP# on the outside naturally.

            Cheers,</any>

                System –> General Setup --> webGUI port
