NAT External URL to local exchange server
-
Hello experts,
So I have setup pfsense firewall and working fine. What I am trying to accomplish now is to access my local exchange server from externally. When I go to https://mail.domain.com, I want to be able to access my local exchange server.
I need help with NAT rules, please?
Lets take into consideration that using one Public IP, I am trying to access multiple local servers for different services such as ADFS, exchange etc.
Please help

Thank you for this. i am stuck at the Front end where there is a rule under "Actions" called scheme https. Can you please provide me more clarity?

Without a proxy or other special handling, just be aware that with plain old NAT you can only forward each port to one internal IP. So you cannot normally have https://hostname1 go to one server and https://hostname2 go to another server unless you use a different port like https://hostname2:444.

@teamits When you say Proxy, is it a Web Application Proxy server?

@teamits thats why i posted a manual for HAProxy. Using it you can redirect https://hostname1 to server1 and https://hostname2 to server 2. This is handled by SNI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication).
@xeon the http Frontend is for redirecting a http request to https. "scheme https" is the command to do this.

@bepo was describing how to use HAProxy.
