[SOLVED] Pfsense listening on the wan interface, how do I make that stop?

I just discovered by error that my pfsense admin interface is listening on the wan interface! No idea how long it's been like this but this is a huge security issue and I may as well consider my network compromised at this point.

I can't seem to find any setting anywhere within pfsense to limit what interface it listens on. Is there a way to fix this? I don't have any firewall rule set to allow this but I guess it overwrites any firewall rules.

Ok so turns out if you do not have a port forward setup for 443 it will just listen on that port... I made a port forward using that port and just put an IP restriction on it, and it stopped the admin interface from being accessible from the outside.
