      Hello,

      I've been trying to access the web configurator with no luck.

      I have respective ip addressees for both my wan and lan and I'm able to ping both from the pf sense shell but unable to load up the web configurator on my browser.

        You ping the own interface IP from the shell? What's the point of this?

        Is you computer running the browser connected to the LAN and does it have a correct network configuration?
        If you want to enable DHCP on LAN reconfigure the interface using menu option 2, so pfSense will ask you for enabling DHCP.
        When finished pfSense shows the URL for accesing the web GUI. Possibly you have chosen HTTPS and try with HTTP or the other way round.
        By default, the Web configurator is only accessible from LAN.

          Honestly I think that's me losing my mind after trying every possible troubleshooting step.

          Is you computer running the browser connected to the LAN and does it have a correct network configuration?

          How do I confirm that the computer is running the browser connected to the LAN?

          If you want to enable DHCP on LAN reconfigure the interface using menu option 2, so pfSense will ask you for enabling DHCP.

          Yeah, I already configured DHCP on LAN when I was setting it up

          When finished pfSense shows the URL for accesing the web GUI. Possibly you have chosen HTTPS and try with HTTP or the other way round.

          Yes I saw that and that's what I've been trying ot use both with HTTP & HTTPS

          By default, the Web configurator is only accessible from LAN.

            Just check its network configuration. How to do this depends on your OS.
            in Windows Shell: ipconfig /all
            or in the network management center > adapter settings
            Linux: ip a
            or: ifconfig -a

            Is it a new installation? Had you ever accessed successfully the web configurator?
            Or did you change something?

              @viragomann It is running on the correct network configuration.
              This is a new installation and I've never successfully accessed the web configurator.
              Just configured it on VMware workstation and have been trying to figure it out.

                If you have activated HTTPS, pfSense uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Maybe that is not accepted by your browser.

                So again, reconfigure the LAN interface and set the web configurator to use HTTP. You may change this later.

                      So maybe there is a problem with the VMWare network.
                      Have you other connection on this virtual network which succeed?
