      My nextgate mini device running the pfSense software no longer allows me to connect to it over an Ethernet web interface after I changed the LAN interface settings from static ip to dhcp settings. I would like to reset the box to factory default settings and start over. Does anyone know the best way to reset this box?

          If you have a serial port on your computer and a null modem cable, you should be able to access the console menu and re-setup the LAN IP.  Other configuration changes you've made will not be lost.

          Alternatively, you will need to depress the reset switch while booting the unit.  This will wipe the box to factory defaults.
