16.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] Disable Web Interface on WAN Interface?
« on: August 06, 2016, 09:10:19 pm »
I searched for a bit looking for an answer on this and couldn't find one easily, so here's my question:
Right now, everything is working perfectly! My opnsense machine is acting as a router/firewall and I have the WAN set to DHCP for it's addressing, and the LAN set to a static IP running DHCP and forwarding DNS.
But there is a problem:
If I go to my WAN IP in a web browser, it comes up with my admin page! I absolutely DO NOT want to have a web logon available for hackers on the WAN interface and would like to disable the web logon, or ANY logon from the WAN interface. I would like the external WAN interface to be locked down as much as humanly possible. I don't need login access on the WAN interface, ever.
But I would like to retain web access on the LAN interface for administrative purposes, of course!
Is there an easy way to (properly) shut down logon and/or web access on the WAN interface?
Thanks!
