      When I open my website on same ip of my server getting this error how to fix my issue

      Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding
      Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname.

        If you are trying to use a URL that resolves to your WAN address you need to do one of these things:
        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/port-forwards-from-local-networks.html

        Split-DNS is the preferred solution there but NAT reflection will also work.

            How are you accessing it? From where? What's the exact error you see?

                @evermolpro You're connecting to your router to get that message. Define "same IP of my server"?

                Normally one needs to either set up NAT reflection or use split DNS as noted above. If you are actually trying to log in to your router, use the LAN IP or review this doc page.

                Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                  Yes, this is almost certainly the problem we have outlined here.

                  You are seeing that warning generated by pfSense because your browser is trying to access the pfSense webgui using an FQDN or IP address not owned by the firewall.

                  You need to give us a lot more information to diagnose it further. Starting with:
                  How are you accessing it? From where?

                      No I can't do that here. We have commercial support if you need it.

                      Post screenshots showing how are accessing it and from where. (the source IP address)
