      Okay, I'm baffled, set up ICMP and HTTP in the firewall rules to monitor and access PFSense from the WAN, but I can't access the webGUI until I ping the interface first. Wondering why this would be?

        I've seen this happen before on BSD systems where realtek interfaces had issues staying on the network unless traffic was always flowing through them.  In that case, it was a driver issue.  What kind of card are you using?
