Single public IP, 2 Domain reverse proxy

toddos

Why not Squid3's reverse proxy? That's what I'm doing with multiple no-ip.org domain names on different domains (name1.no-ip.org, name2.ddns.net, etc).

Some people prefer small working packages to broken monstrosities. :P

Thanks for all your help guys,

Does anyone have an example of how to get HAproxy up and running with multiple domains?
I have searched the PfSense forum but seem to be getting lost with all the different advice.

I've put a small example together: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YflytSq7P8oZBSCVUKWS1v2P0CdShbxeCsbTZ59JCRo/pub

Hi PiBa, for some reason your example has been removed from google docs.
Could you please post the document again?

Thanks,

For some reason the example was taken offline by google, ive asked them for verification why it was 'inappropriate'.. Anyway hereby attached as PDF..

Edit 2015-07-02:
Ive updated the document 'pfSenseHAProxy v2.zip' to include some information about HTTPS / SNI configuration for the backend selection.

Same thing for squid3 reverse proxy (which doesn't seem that monstrous to me). I skipped the parts about adding the Web Servers and Mappings, those guides are already written.

@PiBa, I have been looking at your guide, and was wondering the ports you use on the Backend servers, are not standard ports, 80/443.
When using HTTP you set the ports for 301+302 I see those 2 servers are on the same IP, but port 301 and 302, are they the listening ports on your actual webserver ??

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Yes those are listening on my 'webserver' / testbox.. When writing the guide i was using only 2 machines (1 pfSense & 1 webserver), where i indeed had the webserver listening on multiple ports with a different index.html served on each one just to check if the haproxy side of things was working properly. When using different webservers you could use port 80 or 443 on all of them and make the difference by their ip's. Or you could actually host multiple webapplications on different ports from 1 machine, while serving all of them on the 'outside' on the standard 80 / 443 ports. But a webserver could likely also accomplish that with configuring some virtualhosts..

Anyway i hope this helps understand the screenshots a little better.. Sorry for the confusion.

Latest 'doc' is currently available here (im still using those non standard ports there though ;) ): https://github.com/PiBa-NL/pfsense-haproxy-package-doc/wiki
