      I have been able to get into other routers no problem before from a remote location (linksys, dlink etc) but with pfsense I seem to be missing something here.

      I can log in fine when Im at the office within the LAN, but at home I can't login when I type in the WAN IP address.

      I have made the rule in the Firewall

      Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Description 
      TCP  *  *  WAN address  443 (HTTPS)  *  rem_webGui

      Thats what I have setup in pfsesne.

      Is there anything else I am missing?

      when I type in https://wanipaddress it times out and does not load.

        n/m

        I had to check webGui as HTTPS in the setup page, it works now :D

        Can I have it so that when im on LAN i can just HTTP and when im accessing remotely i do HTTPS?
