1 public IP, multiple servers/devices on LAN subnet… Reverse proxy?

[netphreak]

My challenge is probably not unique in any way, so I'm sure there are several solutions. I have 1 public IP, and a LAN subnet on my pfSense 2.01. There are several devices I'd like to access from outside, so I need to find a way to "filter" incoming requests based on what domain name used.

Example:
web1.mysite.com will direct me to 10.1.1.5
someotherdevice.mysite.com will direct me to 10.1.1.6

I have added the haproxy package, but it's hard to find any documentation on how to achieve my goal… Any advices?

haproxy will redirect based on ip but not hosts.

The package you need is varnish or apache+mod_security.

See package description to decide what package you will use.

docs.pfsense.org has some info about this package

Will look into Varnish then, thanks for the tip :)

haproxy - redirect on IP? From outside - Let's say my public IP is 80.81.82.83 - and I want to telnet into an appliance box on 10.1.1.10 on my LAN - how should I try to access this?

This 80.81.82 sample could be done with a simple built in pfsense nat.

Yes I know how to NAT. What I want to know is how I can access several devices on the same port on LAN from external location. The 80.81.82 example should include info that there are multiple devices on inside using port 22, but I thought that was obvious…

I'm starting to believe that haproxy redirects based on source IP?

[marcelloc]

For port 22, the best way to do this are using multiple nat on wan with different port for each server.

Server 1 port 2201 wan to 22 internal
Server 2 port 2202 wan to 22 internal

Or you could use openvpn to establish a connection to your lan
