pf for the firewall
ipfw for the shaper

IPtables is Linux - OPNsense is built on FreeBSD.

What's pw?

PW - Well that's a typo :p

Yes i know iptables is linux, but according to the freebsd manual it's supported so i thought it might be under the opnsense fork as well.

And Thank you for answer, now I'm gonna try to learn as much as i can about the PF firewall

Hi, been searching but can't quite tell which firewall that Opnsense uses under the hood.
Which firewall is used?

• PW
• IPFW
  
• IPtables
  
  If several are supported then tell which is primary.

Can confirm that the privileges was the issue.

Quick guide for anyone in need
System>Access>Groups

Add a user group like user. Append webgui permissions of your choice (i did dashboard permissions only) save go back to System>Users and make your new user a member of the group user.
You can now log in using the webgui with your newly created user.

That's good to know.
I guess i expected that to happen automatically as the web interface is the primary place to log in and what's the use of adding a user if you cant use it.

[never log in]

Been bashing my head against a wall trying to add user to my new opnsene machine this evening.
Adding a user isn't an issue but unfortunately i can never log in though the web interface using this newly created user.

Do i have to do anything special to make log in through the web interface possible?
I can't see anything in the documents https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/user-local.html
Perhaps i need to add the user to some sort of group giving it privileges?
