      pfSense 2.3.2
      haproxy package 0.48 (dependency haproxy-1.6.6)

      Issue:
      After my WAN interface received a new IP (DHCP), the haproxy service did not rebind properly to the new IP.
      HAproxy configuration interface showed the new IP correctly in the "address" column for my frontend, but attempting to access the backend via my domain name over https, redirected me to pfsense, which gave me the typical "Potential DNS Rebind attack detected" warning.

      Recovery:
      Restart HAproxy service.

      There's nothing obvious in syslog to indicate why haproxy did not restart properly.

      Is this a known issue fixed in later versions of this package, or pfSense?
      I haven't found a way to get a changelog for the newer versions of this package.

      How can I find out if this is known (and corrected), or if I need to file a bug report (and where do I do that)?

        Hi Logan,

        Even though your log mentions "/rc.start_packages: Restarting/Starting all packages."  that command does not actually REstart packages.. It only calls start_service($internal_name); which means for haproxy that it checks if its already running and does nothing if it is.. The fix seems simple enough, change it to restart_service($internal_name); however that stops+starts packages, while it should actually be restarting/reloading them.. As with a stop+start its shortly not running at all. possibly interfering with internal services that should not be affected by a wan-ip change.

        Probably should create a bugreport on https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/issues for it if one does not exist.

          @logan893 I had the same problem every time my WAN DHCP IP changed. I have to manually restart the HAProxy service to make it work again. I'm on the latest version of pfSense (2.6.0) and HAProxy (0.61_7).

          Any permanent solution?

            @bthoven No, I can't recall that I've seen any permanent fix. There's still an open bug report for this. I just don't have too many WAN IP changes any more so I don't see it very often.

            A comment in the bug report says configuring haproxy from binding to WAN to Any is a workaround. I am not using this myself.

              I have the exact same problem on multiple pfSense installations (2.6). If the WAN IP changes, it is displayed correctly with HA proxy. However, clients connected externally show a certificate warning. If I restart HA-Proxy everything works again.

                @pixel24 My problem was solved by replacing the HAProxy with HAProxy-devel 0.62.10.

                  @bthoven Thanks for the info! I guess that > 0.62.x comes at some point as a normal update, right? Then I just wait until the version officially comes as an update.

                  with best

                    @pixel24 It has been 7 months since I replaced it. I didn't wait for an official release because I don't have fixed wanip and it changes quite often. You won't lose any setup in the process.
