        Webconfigurator

        See tip number 4.

        edit :
        Before posting, I actually tried out the command myself.

        [22.05-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.xxxxx.net]/root: pfSsh.php playback generateguicert
        Generating a new self-signed SSL/TLS certificate for the GUI...Done.
        Restarting webConfigurator...Done.
        

        But I saw a :

        pfsense.xxxxxx.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
        

        because I was 'stupid' enough to activate HSTS for the cert I use for the GUI access.

        So, Plan B:
        Console/ssh option 15, and restore a previous config.
        And then option 11 for good manners.

        That did it for me.

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