Cannot gain remote access to WebUI
-
@gertjan what is the supported way of doing a total reflash? The wiki only refers to using the recovery image, which isn't a true factory reset, as it retains some previous settings.
-
When I used a USB device, I always repartitioned the device's drive.
If there was a question of "found a config from a previously installed pfSense' I would chose "don't take it".
Or, as said above : use the "4" option.
or GUI Diagnostics > Factory Defaults -
@gertjan Really odd. Setting the box back to standard admin ports was the answer. Odd, as I have a dozen other pfsense boxes on custom ports with me having remote management, and all work fine. Any guesses?

Did you do de sockstat test ?
-
@gertjan tbh I didn't understand how to do it! Can you clarify please?

@orangehand
You have to use the most important interface : the console access.
Or a SSH access. But keep in mind that SSH isn't available when you install pfSense on a device, as interfaces aren't assigned (known) yet.
See the pfSense documentation. These two accesses are not some optional thing. Without them, you're "doomed".The console access or SSH permits you to enter commands.
Like sockstat -l | grep '8082
