PfSense WebGui not accessible from PPTP client

[fyap]

I cannot access my WebGui from a PPTP VPN client.  But I can ping the pfSense box as well as other devices in the LAN behind it.

I had Squid installed, which I suspect is mucking things up.    There was one occasion where I was able to access the WebGui, and I went to the Services page and stopped Squid.  After that, I can again no longer access the WebGui.  Wish I hadn't stopped squid and tried something else.  I'm off site and can only try to communicate with the box via the good VPN connection.

I tried using PuTTY to ssh to it (over the PPTP) but no success.    But I'm not familiar with PuTTy, so I don't know whether I'm doing it the right way.  I'm not even sure whether ssh is enabled on the box or not.

So, does anybody know how I can "hack" into this box with just a good PPTP connection?  I just want to kill Squid properly so I can have access once again to the webgui and devices I have behind the fw.

Thanks

If you can get an SSH session to a box behind the the pfSense firewall,  Then you can configure a tunnel for 127.0.0.1:xx80 to your pfsense:80 using the standard putty features.

Connection / SSH /Tunnels

Source port xx80  Destination pfSense:80 Add Apply.

Good luck ..
