pfSense on Hetzner Cloud
-
Hi, I have an issue while setting up pfSense on Hetzner Cloud.
This is the instruction I follow.
https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/how-to-route-cloudserver-over-private-network-using-pfsense-and-hcnetworksI have no problem up till "On step 4, un-check the option Block bogon networks." After I configure the next steps to "Apply the changes and go back to Interfaces -> LAN and also apply the changes", I will lose connectivity to pfSense via WAN public IP after a few moments. Please advise why this is so.

It's when you enable the LAN interface the default allow rule moves to it as a full firewall and incoming connections on the WAN are blocked unless you have already added a firewall rule to pass them.
You can temporarily disable the firewall at the console in order to add a pass rule to WAN from your IP. Or you should still be able to connect to pfSense from the client via the LAN.I can see no reason to uncheck 'block bogon networks' on the WAN. Those should be blocked as source IPs.

@stephenw10 Thank you. I configured OpenVPN for access to the router.
Noted on Block bogon networks.
