      Do you know if there is a way to "remove" items from the gui?

      Not from things like the firewall rules. They are interfaces, you could add rules to them.

      One important thing to note is how the firewall rules are applied to a bridge:
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/bridges/firewall.html

      So it filters on the bridge member interfaces by default. You would need pass rules on each member interface in the bridge.

      If you switch the sysctls referenced there you can put filtering only on the assigned bridge interface. Then you only need pass rules on the bridge and rules there apply to traffic from all member interfaces.

        thanks for the info on the bridge fw rules. As I was planning the migration I realized that I'm still kind of borked because of the basement unmanaged switch. TV / xbox can't be configured with vlan tagging directly and the pfsense can't do a PVID if i'm reading it correctly and especially in my weird bridge situation. so I'll have to put those on their own vlan and figure out how to chromecast between vlans

          If you have a spare port you can bridge that to the VLAN to get that device onto it. But otherwise you'd need a VLAN capable switch somewhere, yes.
