 The service runs as the unprivileged `rustproxy` user and keeps `/var/db/rustproxy` mode `0700`, as required by RustProxy. Package installation restarts `configd` so `configctl rustproxy ...` actions are immediately available even after direct `pkg add`.

-If you want the RustProxy administration UI reachable from another host, set the admin listener to an address such as `0.0.0.0:9090` and enable **Allow remote admin**. Apply restarts/reloads the service with the corresponding RustProxy CLI flags.
+The RustProxy administration UI is reachable from other hosts by default on port `9090`, subject to OPNsense firewall rules. Use **Open RustProxy Admin** after Apply to open the panel in a new browser tab. If `Admin listen` is `0.0.0.0:9090`, the button uses the hostname or IP address through which you opened OPNsense.
 
 Direct `pkg add` is supported: the package post-install script restarts OPNsense `configd`, flushes the plugin cache and renders `/usr/local/etc/rustproxy/opnsense.conf` so `configctl rustproxy status/start/stop` is available immediately.
