pfsense GUI configuration - eversinxe/Webmin-Guide GitHub Wiki

To further configure the pfsense firewall, the next step will be to configure using the web gui that this OS provides. Using a machine on the same network as the firewall, navigate using the LAN IP address for the pfsense machine.

Step One: Setup

  • Once the web GUI is loaded, login with the default pfsense credentials.
  • Configure the hostname and domain name with whatever you want (keep it simple)
  • We will be using 8.8.8.8 for the primary DNS, as this will help the network reach the internet.
  • Scroll down the setup menu and uncheck the "Block private networks from entering via WAN"
  • Save the configuration and the GUI should reload, and ask for credentials again.
  • Log in, and the GUI should look like the screenshot below (figure 2.1)
