as a reference, if someone else has this setup, a good workaround is to declare a 2nd ip adress on the interface of the computer trying to access the gui:
for instance:

Code Select Expand

ifconfig wlp2s0:0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
and then, the machine can access the gui

Mâââgic ! It does indeed work now. I'd love to understand why ! And, how can the lan network now access the WAN ?

Many thanks for your help !

Hello
I am discovering opnsense 20.1, and I have installed it on a vm in my lan, with 2 interfaces, LAN 192.168.1.1, and WAN 192.168.2.xxx - fresh install from the iso.
I am trying to access the management gui via the wan port - In system/settings/administration, I've defined listend to all ports for webgui, etc...
Interfaces WAN : I've unblocked private networks (and bogon networks, just in case !)
I've added a firewall rule, wan,  source any, destination wan address, port https
No luck - when I connect to the WAN IP, no gui comes up !
In the logs, I see my rule being triggered, in green, but not gui.

Out of despair, I've done the same config on a fresh pfsense, immediate success !
I've tried adding a nat rule, port forwarding to 192.168.1.1, no luck

Any ideas ? what could be wrong ??

sorry to revive an old thread, but it is really related. i've just installed OpnSense 20.1, and trying to access the gui from the wan interface
- in the system /  settings / administration / webgui, listen is to any interface
- I've created a fw rule to accept any source, destination wan address (or this firewall), https, not working
- I've created a nat rule, to accept any source, destination wan address (or this firewall), 8443, redirect 192.168.1.1/443, not working
- if I stop the firewall via pfctl -d, I can access the gui from the lan - but it is too radical

What could be wrong ?
