      Hello. I am unable to access the webGUI of my pfSense when the LAN is connected to a router, but if I connect my computer to the LAN of the pfSense, I can access the webGUI. Does anyone know what is happening and how I can fix it?

      Thanks!

        How is this connected to pfSense?

        By default, pfSense only allow access to its WebGUI from LAN network.

          @viragomann The router is plugged into the LAN of pfSense.

            So you have
            pfSense - router - computer
            and try to access the pfSense web configurator from the computer?
            Or are both the computer and router connected to pfSense LAN?

                  @gertjan Sorry. The correct one is pfSense -> Router -> Computer.

                    So I assume, the router does NAT between the pfSense LAN and the computers subnet. Does it also natting / masquerading outbound traffic towards pfSense?

                    Are you able to access the internet from the computer?
