solved: WAN Gui Access

[holger]

hi, is there anything changed in 21.1 behaviour regarding opening WebGUI access from WAN interface?

we have freshly installed opnsense and

- configured a new webgui port,
- proved listining on "all" interfaces is checked
- added a firewall rule to allow to "this firewall",

the firewall log shows, that everything is "green", so firewall shouldn´t be the problem..


but we cannot connect to the gui via wan port.

We found an info, that we need to set: "reply-to"  to inactive. 

this was the key, but i wonder  why this setting was not needed on our other installations.

probably you tested other installation not from IPs in same subnet as OPN WAN IP?
