I forgot to say I did try to open up the WAN interfaces a bit, but maybe not
correctly.  I setup this Port Forward rule:

NAT Rule
---------
WAN
TCP
8088
192.168.30.200 (ext.: any)
80 (HTTP)  

... and a WAN rule to let everything in:

Firewall Rule > WAN Tab
-----------------------
Pass
TCP
*
*
WAN address
*
*

I ping the pfSense VM using the web tool "Diagnostics: Ping" it can ping
itself from the WAN Interface:

PING 8.*.*.243 (8.*.*.243) from 8.*.*.243: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.713 ms
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.218 ms
64 bytes from 8.*.*.243: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.225 ms

--- 8.*.*.243 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss



I'm still unable to access the WAN interface from any external machine.
