That makes sense and is an easy explanation.

No. There may be name mismatches between the pfsense host's name and 
the CN of the web GUI cert. All alternative names for the LAN IP address
used to access the web gui are listed in -> advanced -> alternate host
names.

It did not used to be a problem so maybe security was beefed up again in
2.1.3. I created new certs for the web gui and put cert exceptions into
the browsers. It worked, until yesterday. The rebinding warning is shown
only some of the time, no idea why.

The main reason I mentioned it is that "use the IP address to log in"
does not in fact provide a path for remedial action. It's a bit fishy to
me, but I'm also still having problems with the hme driver (on course
for replacement) which may interact.
