      I created a WAN rule to allow access the the web gui for a short time. Now when I delete or disable the rule it is still active. I can still gain access to the web gui via the WAN. I know i can simply change the portbto block it but I want to leave it at 80. It seems that it is not being deleted. I have also rebooted several times. I also noticed this with the pptp rules. I had the pptp server active and had the rules in place for it. I then deleted the pptp rules but it still gave me pptp access. Note that at first when I enabled the pptp server it did not work until I installed the rules. When I deleted them it should have stopped working. Same with the remote WAN admin. for the gui. Any suggestions?

        Did you tried to delete rule and then reset states?

        Can you send a screenshot with these ghost rules?

          How do you reset states? I can send a screen shot but the rules aren't there. I've deleted them.

            follow pfsense menu this way:

            diagnostics -> states -> reset states

                    Sorry it to me so long to get back but I believe I have the issue fixed. Apperantly PFSENSE allows you to access the web gui via LAN or WAN ip from behind the firewall all the time. I was doing my testing from behind the firewall. If I enable remote access and connect through a computer outside my network it works. Once I delete the rule I can no longer access it from the WAN, unless I use the WAN ip from inside my network. Thanks for the help!!

                      There is a anti-lock rule to avoid rules mistakes.

                      If you are 100% sure you are not blocking your access to web gui, you can disable it on system->advanced
