        That's exactly where you should be able to change the LAN address. Does it give an error? What address and subnet are you trying to use?

          Thanks for the feedback.
          as soon i wish or try to add the ip it is asking me a couple of time, at the end it is blank.
          This will show the situation

          and i am sitting on the laptop, of thou proxmox terminal on the pfsense terminal

          have a nice day

            What address and mask are you trying to set it to?

              vmbr0 10.147.42.254/24 = WAN = em0
              vmbr1 10.10.240.3/24 = VServer_LAN = em1

              Now i have
              em0 = 10.147.42.135 which would be allright more or less
              em1 = 192.168.1.1 which is wrong

              but if i try to access 10.147.42.135 the the page is not loaded, maybe because i go over the WAN port

              have a nice day

                You could try disabling the firewall (temporarily) in order to access the webgui via the WAN address. From there you can then change the LAN address.
                https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Locked_out_of_the_WebGUI#Remotely_Circumvent_Firewall_Lockout_by_Temporarily_Changing_the_Firewall_Rules

                There have a been a couple of users who had problems changing the LAN address from it's default value at the initial interface assignment but I've never been able to replicate that myself.

                  I'm still not clear on what you are doing, but to access pfSense WebGUI on LAN, perhaps you could create another vm running Lubuntu or something small, and put it on the same subnet as your pfSense LAN.  Then you could access WebGUI via LAN from the Lubuntu box w/Firefox.
