If I connect the OPNsense in the internal network via the WAN interface, I think I should access it over the ip address the WAN interface have received in the internal network. But OPNsense never answers. If I connect a notebook to the LAN interface of this opnsense, I can access it to manage the OPNsense. Why doesn't this work from the other devices in the LAN network via the WAN interface? I have made a firewall rule that access on the WAN interface ist allowed from everywhere.
Because it's a firewall and by default WAN access is blocked to stop naughty people gaining access to the management interface. Strange that....

Yes, of course. But if I create a rule on the wan interface that allows access from my network it should work, but it does not.
Settings->Administration->Listen Interfaces...
Have you got WAN selected?
> Settings->Administration->Listen Interfaces
If you can avoid this feature. If you must tell people before asking for their support so we can ask to disable it. ;)
