Ok.  I think I have figured it out.  Took a bit of experimenting and reading.   Key I think was unchecking the "Block private networks" button on the OPT1 interface config.

Then the rule I set up on the OPT1 interface looked like this:

Action: Pass
Interface: OPT1
Direction: in
Protocol: TCP/UDP
Source: OPT1 net
Destination: Single Host - 192.168.1.5
Port: From 8080 To 8080

That seemed to work.   If any experts out there see any issues with my setup, please let me know.

Hi.  Trying to set up a rule that will let a reverse proxy I have set up on my Apache web server running on a host on my OPT1 network, access a host on my LAN network.  I have my reverse proxy accept an url of myhost.mydomain.com and redirect it to host:port number on my LAN (eg: 192.168.1.5:8080).   I've successfully set up a NAT port forward to direct all HTTP traffic to my webserver on OPT1.   But for those url's that are supposed to redirect to a host on my LAN, it doesn't get through, and I'm not clear if I need to set a rule on OPT1 to let the redirect out, or on my LAN to let the redirect in. 

I had it all set up on an older version of OPNsense, which I accidentally borked during an upgrade.  :( Unfortunately, I didn't create a backup, and I set it up so long ago I've forgotten how I did it.

Any help appreciated!!

Is https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/haproxy.html out of date? As far as I know 2.0 has not been released yet.

I did read through that documentation. I believe it is designed for Load balancing, rather than reverse proxy.  Would all of the steps be the same though for setting up a reverse proxy?  Main difference being that instead of adding multiple servers to backend, I would only add one for each server I set up?   It wasn't entirely clear to me from that.

Would like to use HAProxy plugin to act as reverse proxy to serve up the different webserver hosts I have running behind my single WAN IP.   Currently using apache virtual hosts proxy pass to do this.   Is there a recent tutorial anywhere to guide me through the steps of setting this up in the current plugin GUI?  Have scoured the web, but haven't found one.  Closest I found was a pfsense tutorial using a older version of HAproxy to do this.  And it appears some things have changed.

I have a bunch of machines on my network that I have setup with static IP's on each machine.  I would like to be able to access them by typing their hostnames in my browser.  eg: I have sabnzbd running on 192.168.2.5.   Would like to type "sabnzbd/" in the browser to go directly to it.  I know if sabnzbd was assigned IP by DHCP, it would work.  But how do I set pfSense to know the names of my static machines?  Do I enter them manually in the "DHCP Static Mappings for this interface." part of the DHCP server settings?
