Can't reach website of Unifi Controller #98

Hi,

I have a standard that I deliver to all my customers. Always PFsense router, Unifi AP AC Lite and a GS108E or better depending on size of installation. It would be neat as hell to manage the Unifi from PFsense as it eliminates the need of a "server", and setup properly I can manage it from remote.

However, I tried now on several different platforms (different hardware and different versions of PFsense) but I can't get the controller website to load. I may be a loon, I don't know, but I tried installing the software from shell with the command "fetch -o - https://git.io/j7Jy | sh -s" with all positive results. I have restarted the service with "service unifi.sh stop" and "service unifi.sh start" and tried again, but I simply cannot load the page at "https://myrouterip:8443", "http://myrouterip:8080" or "https://myrouterip:8443/manage". When I try to connect I get the TLS error and I accept the warning, but then nothing, it simply loads until the end of time but never shows any content. Of course I tried different web browsers too; IE, Firefox and Chrome.

As I said, I may be stupid, but I do need some help.

Belay that. I waited overnight and tried again and it worked. Seems it took a long time to start up. This was on a router I had direct LAN access to, but I haven't yet got it to work from remote. I've allowed traffic to port 8443 but that doesn't seem to do it. I've also used SSH proxy to try and reach the website from LAN but no go either. At this point I don't know if it works on the LAN or not at the remote location so I'll go there and try sorting that out first.
