      Ok, so DDNS not so much a requirement which is what I thought, I've also held my IP for over a year before.

      The pfSense port I'll leave as is for simplicity.

      Yes, I originally had a WAN Rule ipv4 and ipv6 any:any to wan on 80 an 443

      Trying to browse my domain would either send me to a 503 or a pfSense binding error screen, depending if the domain was set in HAProxy ACL
      If I manually use the local IP it would obviously work.

      I'll start configuring HAProxy

        Ok, I've gotten a little further… this is without ACME at this point... Starting to think the squid packages that I removed were causing background issues...

        www.domain is getting pointed to server locally & externally

        • don't know how since I never set www. to do anything yet… is the default backend setting causing this?

        sub1.domain, and .domain are getting pointed to server externally but not internally… so thinking loopback issue... or caching...

        Will test a few more things after dinner...

          yes first make sure the basic's work for a simple :80 webservice and perhaps a selfsigned certificate for testing before going for complete acme configuration..

          If haproxy returns a 503 usually that is because the server healthchecks are failing. Check on stats page why if that happens.

          haproxy indeed sends any traffic it receives on a frontend to the default backend. If traffic arrives on the frontend depends on what ip the dns resolution of www.domain returns.

          If it works externally and not internally then a likely cause is the transparent-client-ip feature in the backend.. try disabling that option. Or better make sure client and server are on different networks.. (vlans might help there when the switch arrives)

            Ok, That was going to be my next question… how to stop the loopback issue.

            Transparent ClientIP not checked...

            So if I have my servers on 192.168.1.1 and my devices on 192.168.2.1 ect... I'll be able to access the domains locally?
            Or, Is there a way to redirect my domain internally to a local domain... sub1.domain.com to sub1.domain.local?
            Which would be best practice?

              Internally you could go for a split-dns solution to reply the webserver 192.168.1.100 ip when a request for sub1.domain.com is made.. But i prefer to keep it simple and have all clients both externally and internally follow (more or less) the same route to the destination.

              Sending a redirect could be done also, but well the users would be using 2 different domains for the same website / or a specific page on it, making a favorite to a page wont work when going outside anymore.. Or sending a link to a colleague thats outside..

              There shouldn't be much of a 'loopback issue' when using haproxy (not like you would have with portforwards..). as the client resolves the pfSense wan-ip, haproxy accepts the connection, and makes another connection to the webserver.. That should 'just work'.. or is the wan-ip not actually on pfSense but on a upstream isp provided router.?.

              So to check, the clients do resolve the wan-ip of pfSense when internally requesting the domain? You have made simple 'pass' rules? (no portforwards should be needed..) Does any error appear? Does stats page 'count' a new connection on frontend when you try to connect?

                Ok so I started working on getting HTTPS to work…

                I've set HTTP redirect to HTTPS, but can't seem to disable it to just test basic http...  not a big deal right now... but a pain for troubleshooting...

                I'm having trouble finding "good practice" guides for setting up the backend SSL to talk with cert manager...

                Here is my HAproxy settings ATM..

                  For https does your webserver 'require' sending a client certificate? If not make the ssl related selection boxes there on the backend server empty..
                  As for the frontend youve got it configured with http/https(offloading) but have not configured the server certificate on the frontend. That is required to be able to read the host-header for the "hdr_reg(host)" acl's youve used.

                  As for the 'redirect' backend it seems your pointing it to the pfSense localhost webgui that is then sending a redirect.. Better configure the redirect in haproxy itself as a 'action' if desired, or point it to the actual webserver:80 for testing.?

                  Also it might be that the overall webgui redirect in pfSense advanced settings is confusing you.. Or a cached HSTS header that the webgui sends.. To remove that HSTS redirect from browser cache special steps are needed in the browser used..

                    So the certs get set in the frontend or backend?

                      Okay, I'm getting somewhere, I finally got working frontend and backends… I'm just getting an error when I try to use acme cert vs the default cert.

                        Getting 'an error' is fixed by performing 'an solution'.
                        Does haproxy report an error while starting? Does the browser report an error while loading the page? Does the machine catch fire ::) Please specify 'what' error specifically you get and where/when it happens that really helps both you and me..

                        Anyhow..

                        	acl			aclcrt_HTTPS_Frontend	hdr_reg(host) -i ^pfSense-5a22d36348213(:([0-9]){1,5})?$
                        	acl			sub1	hdr(host) -i sub1.domain.ca
                        	use_backend dummy_backend_http_ipvANY  if   aclcrt_HTTPS_Frontend
                        	default_backend dummy_backend_http_ipvANY
                        	default_backend sub1_http_ipvANY
                        
                        

                        Having 2 default's and a unused sub1 acl probably creates a few issues.
                        Use the use-backend action to select a backend when the desired sub1 acl matches instead of specifying a default backend for each frontend without further certificate derived 'automatic' acl's.

                        As for certificates, those that are presented to a client/browser are indeed specified on the frontend. But seeing your config that seems good now.

                        If the webserver also uses https, and requires a client certificate or you just want to verify its a valid certificate, then haproxy can do that with the certificate options on the server.. But this is usually not needed to get 'things working', but could improve security if the network between haproxy and webserver is not 'trusted'.. For now lets leave this alone and focus on getting the basics working.

                        Locally http://192.168.1.100:8090/ works without https right.?

                          Ok, the error I get if I move away from the webConfigurator default cert is…
                          [ALERT] 342/082804 (46521) : parsing [/var/etc/haproxy_test/haproxy.cfg:36] : 'bind WAN_IP:443' : unable to load SSL certificate from PEM file

                          Also when I try to add another shared front end with separate backend it will throw a 503 for all https requests

                          So I don't need seperate backend for each server?

                          I need plex.domain to go to 1 server
                          and www.domain to go to a pool of 4 servers
                          plus a few more domains…

                          and then for the cert(s) I was thinking I could use 1 for all domains but then I'll need a seperate 1 "vpn.domain" for openVPN

                          Yes http://192.168.1.100:8090/ works
