No access to webgui

emad4

Hi
I am experiencing a problem which is that after I enabled the cache service (proxy) on pfsense , I cannot access pfsense remotely via public ip or locally . Before that , I was able to access gui of pfsense via http remotely and locally.

How can I solve this problem , so proxy server is working and accessing webgui is avaliable

Thank you

Probable cause : the proxy and webgui webserver listen on the same port - port 80 TCP and port 443 TCP.

Go to System > Advanced > Admin Access and look for "TCP port".
Read the instructions "Enter a custom port number for the webConfigurator above to override the default (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS). Changes will take effect immediately after save." and chose another port.

or : Look in the Proxy config, and change ports over there

Btw : the webGUI should not be made on the interface called 'WAN'.

http remotely

Why use pfSense ?
Security isn't your thing it seems ^^

Why webserver and proxy listen to same port 80 , I mean proxy default port is 3128

Security is important for me but I need to access server remotely

Same thing, but approached differently : de activate or de install the proxy.
I bet the web gui access start working again.

Run also this command on the command line (SSH or console) :

sockstat | grep ':80'

That's why half the planet is using (Open) VPN these days.
The other half got hacked and wiped of the surface.

Thank you very much Gertjan

I did the steps you mentioned by changing the port of http and it worked successfully.

The proxy server is working normally now and at the same time I can access webgui of pfsense.

Thank you again
