I would not recommend doing this, it is not secure. Connect to the network over VPN instead and then open the webUI.

You do NOT want this. Repeat, you do NOT want this. You will come home one day, your network will not work, and your pfSense password will also have changed and you will not be able to get back in.

 

One last time, you do NOT want this. As stated above, use a vpn and connect that way.

Well I can't connect to it to config the network unless I can get into from my home network, so don't really have an option.

There is no network on the LAN side, it's for a VMware server and I don't seem to have a good way to access it, since it's not configured the VMs can't connect to it. 

Yours faithfully

Ah, I found out why it wasn't working, the PfSense VM wasn't correctly configured. 

Yours faithfully
