If you don't want people/scripts/robots knocking on your door, remove the door.
Remove rules on your WAN interface : do not make SSH accessible to the entire Internet. Consider that as a security flaw.
If you have to have access to SSH and GUI etc, use a VPN access.

edit : normally, you should be using the SSH access with a password only ones. The day you installed pfSense - or any OS for that matter, disable password authentication and go for :

@gertjan Much appreciated.
But one thing here PFsense is my VPN server so I think GUI is already accessible.

[Gertjan]

With only this rule

on your WAN interface, no one can access SSH, or GUI access.
Exception : those who have VPN access. But you know who they are, as you gave that access.
