      You man inside Firewall / Rules / WAN where i create one rule with status PASS
      Protocol: TCP/UDP
      Source Address: ! WAN address
      Source Ports: Any
      Dest. Address: ! Local address
      Dest. Ports: Any
      And enable Log packets that are handled by this rule

      I plan to test and create an inside Firewall / Aliases / Ports list of only ports that who lab user or service can use.

        I mean that is too wide a match. It would match a lot of traffic that shouldn't be allowed. Though I don't know exactly what 'Local' is there. The only traffic you should allow into the WAN should have a destination of the IPs HAProxy is listening on. So at most the WAN address and/or the VIPs on the WAN.

        And yes the destination ports should probably be an alias of 443 and 80 only.

          In the lab case, i have only one public IP but if I understand your suggestion.

          I plan to see you for testing on Firewall / Aliases / IP

          Name: web1
          IP: 192.168.100.1

          Name: web2
          IP: 192.168.100.2

          And create an inside Firewall / Aliases / Ports list of only ports that who lab user or service can use like.

          Name: WWW
          Ports: 80, 443

          And to inside Firewall / Rules / WAN where i create a rule with the status PASS
          Protocol: TCP/UDP
          Source Address: ! WAN address
          Source Ports: Any
          Dest. Address: web1
          Dest. Ports: WWW
          And enable Log packets that are handled by this rule

            I just tried to add like new service wowza and when visited VM3 with http://192.168.100.3:8088 in the local host i saw see login page, but when i try to access wowza with a set domain name like http://wowza.domain.com:8088 i get this result

            503 Service Unavailable
            No server is available to handle this request.

            when i check with the LISTEN port like this

            root@dev:~# lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
            systemd     1            root   40u  IPv6 8353844      0t0  TCP *:22 (LISTEN)
            systemd-r  96 systemd-resolve   14u  IPv4 8354932      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.53:53 (LISTEN)
            java      123            root   25u  IPv4 8347558      0t0  TCP *:8088 (LISTEN)
            java      287            root    8u  IPv4 8355219      0t0  TCP *:41183 (LISTEN)
            java      287            root  164u  IPv4 8353064      0t0  TCP *:8087 (LISTEN)
            java      287            root  172u  IPv4 8358134      0t0  TCP *:8083 (LISTEN)
            java      287            root  187u  IPv4 8358172      0t0  TCP *:1935 (LISTEN)
            java      287            root  191u  IPv4 8358176      0t0  TCP *:8086 (LISTEN)
            master    358            root   13u  IPv4 8347603      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:25 (LISTEN)
            master    358            root   14u  IPv6 8347604      0t0  TCP [::1]:25 (LISTEN)
            

            I created the same as i did earlier for port 80 and port 443 but is not working.

            I know i need to add SSL, but as i write this is lab testing, not production.

              That destination on the WAN would be the WAN address if you don't have any VIPs on it. web1 is an internal IP that could never be reached by an external host.

                Do you maybe know what can be a problem why i get

                503 Service Unavailable
                No server is available to handle this request.

                When i try to use another service like Wowza?

                Port 80,443 its working perfect, but when i wont to add on the same case other port or services i get the same error

                503 Service Unavailable
                No server is available to handle this request.

                Thank you

                  I don't know what Wowza is. What exactly have you added? How are you testing it? What do you expect to see?

                    Wowza is a video platform with industry-leading technology that delivers quality live and VOD streaming with integrated CMS, analytics, and more.

                    But i have the same problem when i try another service, like access on proxmox or any other service who requests another port number but is not port 443 and port 80

                    Any time i get
                    503 Service Unavailable

                      Sounds like HAProxy it not configured to use that port so it just returns that 503 error.

                        I agree with you.

                        How can testing what is the problem only leave this service, for example, i used to test proxmox.

                        Inside Services / HAProxy / Backend

                        Name: PM_8006
                        Mode: active
                        Name: pm
                        Forward to: Address+Port
                        Address: 192.168.100.3
                        Port: 8006
                        Encrypt(SSL): yes
                        SSL checks: yes
                        And in the Health check method set: basic

                        How i configure On the Frontend part.

                        Services / HAProxy / Frontend
                        Name: PM_Front
                        External address
                        Listen address: WAN address (IPv4)
                        Port: 8006
                        SSL Offloading: yes

                        In Access Control lists inside the same
                        Name: pm
                        Expression: Host matches
                        CS: empty
                        Note: empty
                        Value: pm.domain.com

                        In part Actions inside the same

                        Action Use Backend the name that i set on PM_8006
                        Condition acl names: the same name that i set in Access Control lists pm

                        And inside the same Additional certificates select SSL Offloading what i on System / Certificates / Certificates

                        The same certificate and added inside proxmox, because is letsencrypt wildcard certificate

                        And when i try to visit https://pm.domain.com:8006/ the result is like this below message.

                        503 Service Unavailable

                          What do you logged?

                          Do you see states created on port 8006? For both front and back end?

                              I do the same as how i explained in my last post.

                              I tried many other services that request custom ports and got the same.

                              503 Service Unavailable

                                  Yes, I set.

                                  When i do this just for testing
                                  Firewall-NAT-Port-Forward-pm.jpg
                                  How can i see if i correctly configured and tried to access it, this is working perfectly.

                                  IP_ProxMox is set localhost IP set inside Firewall / Aliases / IP

                                  When i disable this Port Forward and now testing to login again like https://pm.domain.com:8006 i get this result

                                  503 Service Unavailable

                                  If i have a set like this inside HAProxy

                                      If you mean on Diagnostics / States / States yes this is what i get as a result.

                                        Ok. So what is the LAB interface? What are the IPs there?

                                        I expect to see a port 8006 state on WAN whilst you're testing.

                                          LAB interface is a local private network, 192.168.100.0./24

                                            Ok so I assume 192.168.100.254 is the LAN interface address.

                                            That state could be the backend on-line check.

                                            If you are trying to connect to it you should also see states on the WAN.
