        Good news !
        pfSense doesn't use "Dropbear".

        Please explain how and what you are testing.

        On the WAN side, nothing is open by default, so there will be no issue.
        On the LAN side, everything is open, as that is the place where you put your trusted devices.
        You have non-trusted devices ? Still no issue, put them on a second pfSense LAN interface, and chose your block/pass firewall rules wisely.

        No solution needed as there is no problem.
        Still, it's up to you to explain, as asked above.
        While detailing, you most probably find the reason yourself.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @robust pfsense does not run dropbear ssh.. You must be something else when you do your test. My APs for example run old dropbear.

          [22.05-RELEASE][admin@sg4860.local.lan]/root: ssh -V
          OpenSSH_8.8p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1n-freebsd  15 Mar 2022
          

          Here is AP for example

          Hallway-BZ.6.2.26# ssh -V
          Dropbear v2020.81
          Hallway-BZ.6.2.26#

          Please don't Chat/PM me for help, unless mod related
