      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.

        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
                        No server is available to handle this request.

                        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.

                                      I get this result with a local private network because i use the same IP and for that reason, i get a local IP

                                        Ok so you do see a state open on the WAN. Do you also see a new state open on LAB when that happens? That's what you would expect to see if HAProxy is opening the backend.

                                        If it isn't then it's probably not trying because it thinks the backend is down.

                                            Oh this is simply the Proxmox webgui. That should work Did you add the Proxmox CA cert to pfSense so it will allow connections?

                                            You should change the backend health-check to https. When that shows as available then proxied requests should do also.
