Description

In the setup wizard if you change the LAN IP address, you get to the next page to set a password, but when continuing from that page you go straight to a block page saying:
"An HTTP_REFERER was detected other than what is defined in System -> Advanced (https://192.168.1.1/wizard.php?xml=setup_wizard.xml). If not needed, this check can be disabled in System -> Advanced -> Admin."

The user is then locked out of the system, they will not get a proper IP from DHCP, and the new password they set won't work. The only thing you can do is unplug power from the pfsense appliance, or connect to it via console to reboot it so that the changes are applied.
After reboot it seems to be fine.

Confirmed with 2.4.3-p1
