19.1 Legacy Series / WAN admin - Firewall Allow but Blocked
« on: April 17, 2019, 05:25:34 am »
I have a situation where I need to enable web administration on the WAN. I've done this before without issues. Go to console, shut down packet filter, set WAN firewall to allow my source IP to destination WAN address port 443. Restart pf.
I just installed a new install of opnsense yesterday, but I can't get this to work. I'm able to stop pf from a remote console and then access the WAN web admin, but after adding the WAN firewall rule (even to the point of ANY ANY), when pf restarts, I'm blocked by the default fw block rule. Any thoughts why this would happen?
I know best practice is to vpn or something and access via the lan (and I'll get to that), but I need this to work on the wan first to set everything up properly. Also, web admin is enabled for all interfaces.
