I have no idea what is going on. I followed Spaceinvader One pfSense Part 3 for the installation. I followed until around 19:57 (for changing from HTTPS to HTTP), then it suddenly doesn't work. During the setup wizard I used both dhcp and static ip and it was fine. I have no way to access the web GUI after changing to HTTP (I am not sure is this the point that I start to lose access to GUI). I think the problem does not related to HTTP or HTTPS as I remembered that after a restart of this fresh pfsense, I can no longer get access to the Web GUI. I actually have a workable pfSense before having the NIC in a different PCIe slot, but then I realize I need that slot for the other purpose, so I swap to another slot and reconfigure and reinstall the pfsense.

 

I tried reboot the VM, reinstall the VM, set static IP from cmd, enable or disable DHCP Server from pfSense, connect to pfSense GUI from my PC via router, directly connect my PC to the LAN port of pfSense...all of these don't work. I can't see the static IP on the router either, so I really need some guidance for this...
