Description

Using the current pfSense AWS AMI (ami-6fdf4055), it is not currently possible to connect to a pfsense firewall that is not on a public subnet. So for a network design that is two pfSense firewalls deep, the internal firewall can only see private addresses arriving at it's WAN interface and is therefore unreachable due to the default deny RFC1918 rule. The ideal solution would be a User data option when launching the instance, such as "permit_wan_rfc1918=true" would do the trick. I tried setting mgmtnet=10.x.y.z but the default "Block private networks" rule takes priority.
