        Sorry guys,

        Bud for some reason HAProxy doesn't work for me…I've filled in the 'Frontends' as well as the 'Servers'. Can I test or view some logs why it isn't working? How? Has somebody a good screenshot/how-to configure HAProxy?

        Furthermore the '/haproxy?stats' is not working, how come? So browsing to my pfSense box (http://192.168.x.y:81/haproxy?stats).

        Thanks,
        Canefield

          canefield,

          what haproxy version are you using?

          The stats is the best place to see what is working and what is not working.

          Try to startup it via console to see if there are some config errors…

            Marcello,

            I'm using HAProxy version 1.4.20 pkg v 1.0; as far as I know the newest one in the 'Packages'-list.
            While configuring I think I make the mismatch. That is because I really can't find a goof how-to on each of the three tabs.

            In underneath link a saw a how-to, but whithout luck:
            http://conheotiensinh.blogspot.com/2011/12/config-haproxy-with-pfsense-version-201.html
            Additional HAProxy LB: http://conheotiensinh.blogspot.com/2011/12/setting-up-high-availability-load.html

            Simply the pfSense box adding the suffix doesn't comply; http://192.168.x.y/haproxy?stats
            So far I understand I configure this for each Frontend? What Username & Password should I give in?

            Thanks,
            Canefield

              Try the haproxy-full package.

              It's the one I use.

                Still no luck with pfSense and HAProxy nor HAProxy-Full. I'm still trying to complete the process to make Exchange (with all functionality) and SMTP available in a Load Balanced and Reverse Proxy scheme. Can you/anybody help me out?

                As far I have read the statistics are only available on the pfSense box; so http://192.168.x.y/haproxy?stats. It doesn't work. I can't see a thing. Furthermore, how to configure '/haproxy?stats' while using multiple Frontends? All linking to the same address?

                  Canefield,

                  I'm working on apache-modsecurity package to offer a definitive reverse proxy package to pfsense.

                  I found some extra configs on apache to get it working with owa but I have some deadlines this month on my job and apache new gui package is quite stopped.

                  Wait some time until I finish it.  ;)

                  att,

                            Ill release a devel version soon with current code. I need some patches applied on mod_security freebsd ports to get all features working but after about 50 days, its still not merged by package commiter

                                Dear Nimamhd,

                                How did you managed this? Do you also have one external IP? Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 80 and 443? Did you managed the '/haproxy?stats' part?

                                I really hope you can help me out though.

                                  …Forwarding based on host-header in case of port 443....

                                  I think haproxy can balance only 443 connections without checking host header.

                                  It will work fine on server pools that has the same config.

                                  I`ll try to speed up apache2 devel package to help you. some features will be left out as I need changes on ports.

                                      Thanx.

                                        I have one External IP and Forwarding port 80 , /haproxy?stats works fine .
                                        i had a problem when i use " NAT Port Forwarding " at the same time with same External Ip address. i disabled the Port Fw, and "/haproxy?stats" gone ok.
