      Hi all,

      To caveat this first, this is a bad idea, but it's just for testing on a test network.

      I've been reading this howto with some interest: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=47086.0

      Is there a way to use a similar method if I just wanted to host a single HTML page on pfsense that was accessible externally? I don't want to break pfsense that badly, eg no php / MySQL etc

      It may be a case of installing vhost like this post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=46761.0, but both of these posts are from 2012 and things have moved on!

      Thanks

        Watch out for the vHosts Package.
        It works out of the box. Yes it have PHP, but if you really want to get rid of PHP just modify the Package defaults and you have a very light weight Web Server.
