Access to Opnsense GUI without specifying the port
«

New user here. Sorry for what is probably an very basic question.
I created a certificate (using ACME client) so I could login to the Opnsense GUI without the security errors (using "servername.my_domain.com"). This worked initially, but because of a conflict, I had to change the port number to something other than 443 (I chose 4443).
Now this method only works when the port number is specified. ie "servername.my_domain.com:4443".
Is there a way to allow just the name to be used, without having to specify the port number?
Thanks!

Whenever you omit the port number, your browser will use the default - 443. If you changed that port, you will have to specify the changed port number every time. That's just how HTTP(S) works.
Create a bookmark for quick access?

Thank you Patrick,
I understand that 443 is the default (and yes, I did make a bookmark with the new port, exactly as you suggested.)
I was hoping there might have been some configuration options on Opnsense to get round it using redirection or something. It's not a big deal to use the port though. I just like things to be simple.
Thanks again.
