      Is there a way to add a letsencrypt certificate just for the admin access?
      Meaning, all servers behind the firewall have certs but the admin of the firewall doesn't and I would not want that cert interfering with the rest of the services.

        You can add a letsencrypt cert for webgui access to pfSense. It will be used for all login accounts not just admin.

        It would only apply to the webgui. What other services are you concerned about?

          Hi,

          I've never added one to a pfsense before so wasn't sure if doing so could interfere with traffic headed to web servers that have their own certs.
          What you describe is what I'm looking for it seems.

            It should not affect anything except the pfSense webgui itself.

              Perfect. Any chance you know of a current doc showing how it's done?

                It's covered in the ACME hangout we did: https://youtu.be/h7Rlru3agdA?t=2957
