Host-header support in pfSense
-
Nothing built in will do so, several of the packages will do so. Varnish, Apache, Squid reverse proxy possibly, haproxy.
-
I have heard good stories about haproxy and it's been recommended to me. I do want to try and use it but can't really find a guide, about how to do it. Does anyone know of any guides about setting up haproxy with tcp host headers?
-
Take a look on this doc
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Haproxy_package
-
There's also the official documentation.
-
Rather than reading all the documents. Do you know of a step by step guide that someone has made in a blog? or have screen shots with what to do?? For some reason it just doesnt sound easy as some people say it is. Sorry sometimes with all this complex technology it can be alot to take in, and its nice to be spoon fed accasionally. lol

Could be nice if pfsense had the same user friendlyness as the TMG hey :)
Everything is put together in the same popup window and very easy to configure with everything relevant including host header support via the proxy :)
-
More….
So when wanting to publish a website, then you wont have to move around in PFsense and 3'rd package interfaces if everything is put into one window.
That could be made to apply to NAT and everything else....
-
Furthermore….the test rule button is a wonderful tool when applying rulesets!
Now wouldnt that be nice to have in PFSense :)
-
Indeed it would be.
As far as I recall, people are telling me that Varnish and/or even Squid-Reverse could do the job.Any clue? Know how to setup and configure that? Again, I want to use pfSense only if possible.
Thanks & KR,

HAProxy should be the best outthere :)

Canefield,
It can be done in pfsense for sure. Haproxy will be easy to configure as it has few configure options and can do http as well https balance/failover.
Do not foget firewall rules to Allow traffic. ;)
