WebUI via VPN
«

Hi,
im trying to make the WebUI available via Wireguard. (Wireguard on opnsense is acting as a client connecting to a server) After adding the Firewall rules, makign sure wg1 is made into a new Interface called WG and that in turn is included into the listening interfaces for the WebUI i could see that apckets for port 443 indedd pass trough the firewall.
I however found out that i needed to restart both SSH and the webserver after the Wireguard interface came up. This is ofc a bit problematic when you dont have lan access to the device and it for whatever reason needs to reboot.
Could you add a solution to this problem in a patch or is it just me doing things wrong?

Are listen interfaces set to "All" for both Webgui and sshd? It should not need restarting for both services if they are.

yes
I found that i can access the WebUI via the lan ip trough the vpn. My guess is that the webserver somehow still doesnt recognizes a new interface to listen on without restart but if you have your routing in order you can circle in on its excisiting listen lan ip.

That is weird. Can you check the output of "sockstat -l | grep lighttpd"? if it shows "*:443" then it is bound to all addresses (INADDR_ANY) you should be able to access it from any interface.
Also check your WG & floating firewall rules in case you got something blocking it.
