@piba

So after reading your comment, I installed the devel package and after working out the differences I needed to make that were version related, my OCSP stapling is now working again.

Thanks for the help.

@piba said in 2.4.5_1 PHP Error installing HAProxy:

unset($config['installedpackages']['haproxy']);
write_config("fix haproxy install, remove empty config");
print("config fixed?");

By Jove Sir, I think you got it.

I was able to install HaProxy.

that looks like solution.

Thank you for the quick response

@Bob-Dig

Oh yes... I forgot that one

Move to something like 99443
Nothing like 80443 0r 8080

Smashed it out of the park =D thanks for that, needed to do some reading but moving the port seemed to do the trick.

Don't ask, read..
If the certificate is valid for the root domain, then its probably due to the acl's that get added, either check both boxes for checking subject/san, or uncheck them that should allow traffic to pass to the (default) backend. That is assuming you have indeed the same issue, if not, start a different topic please.

@pooperman

there is some issue with SSL handshake:

@PiBa Good news, I got it to work! I did as you suggested and got a self signed certificate on the server using this guide. After that HAProxy is able to route traffic to the host. It even works with the Let's Encrypt wildcard cert I have through the ACME package, so there's no cert errors getting to the site. Thank you for the help again.

@phoadm
Have you configured the haproxy webgui to 'monitor' a carp interface? If so it wont start on that node until that node becomes master.

'Normally' IPFW is not running when only pfSense is used without captive-portal..

The quickest fix is probably to give pfSense a reboot.. Haproxy loads and configures IPFW if it 'needs' transparent-client-ip with its current config settings.. If none of the backends require this the IPFW related configuration code is likely completely skipped. It does not remember that it still needs to disable the old ipfw settings.... I guess i need to set a little 'flag' that transparent-client-ip was used and check that to remove the last rules if the current config doesn't use it anymore.. I'm not sure if unloading ipfw itself is possible.. i think there was a issue there...

@crowfather

I get that the backend limit is 1/10th the front end... but still not sure what this resolves.

If you set the front-end to 500 does that mean the back-end is really 500 but is only showing 50. Should we be setting it to 10X the value we want or is it that it only incorrectly displays this way?

TLS 1.3 will require OpenSSL 1.1.x, which is only currently available on pfSense 2.5.0 development snapshots. Though it does look like net/haproxy-devel is at 2.0-dev2 on the branch used for pfSense 2.5.0 development, but the pfSense haproxy-devel package doesn't use it (yet).

I'm not aware of any plans to switch that over yet, but it's probably just a matter of time.

Do it even easier:

Run acme package on FW1 (I assume it's a CARP cluster with syncing?) and let it create a certificate for both names (fw1.xxx AND fw2.xxx). When it's done, select the cert for the webui. Then login to FW2 and select it, too, as certificates get synchronized automatically (if selected) to the secondary. There choose the same certificate as WebUI cert and be done :)

Just check that you configure the acme service on fw1 to restart its own webserver after renewal AND via remote the service on fw2 (see the help for this)!

Will be nice to learn how to do it both ways - using haproxy and just using the internal CAs as @johnpoz proposes. I went the haproxy route and couldnt get it to work. I have the certs issued and haproxy setup. Perhaps @Renat you can provide a guide how to do it and I will see if that can get me over the hump since I have already done most of the steps? ( some screenshots of haproxy setup). Also anything has to be done on the synology side?

@interloper Do you have a guide on how you setup your google domain settings for your subdomains? I am trying to figure it out but having a hard time. Here is my open topic on this forum (https://forum.netgate.com/post/830593).

Thanks
