Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Re: Proxy help needed

« on: July 27, 2024, 04:16:03 pm »

That's great news! I've now solved it with HAproxy, I then had the challenge that only the IP adres of the proxy was visible to the hosting panel. Logical behaviour but I wasn't aware that customers were using fail2ban-like functionality on their websites. Luckily I've been able to activate the PROXY protocol on the hosting services to solve that challenge.

I really like Caddy and the ease to use it, but given the IP address challenge I would still not be able to switch I'm afraid. Anyway my problem is solved for now. If someone needs help with a similar use-case feel free to dm me

Tutorials and FAQs / Re: Tutorial 2024/06: HAProxy + Let's Encrypt Wildcard Certificates + 100% A+ Rating

« on: July 03, 2024, 05:05:53 pm »

First of all great tutorial and topic, it really helped me to understand how HAproxy works. That said I do need a bit of a differend setup since I don't want HAproxy to manage any of the ssl stuff.

I have three services I want to route based on SNI using HAproxy.

- Two domains/services are static (homeassistant: app1.example1.org & Nextcloud: app2.example2.org)

The third service is directadmin server with remote users, those domains are dynamic meaning that the users using the server are adding, editing and removing domains all the time.

setup should be,
IF SNI1 -> server X
IF SNI2 -> server Y
IF ANY-OTHER-SNI -> server Z

This is my current config, the two static services (homeassistant and Nextloud) are working flawless. Unfotunately the directadmin domains are not working

Code: [Select]

removed old config to cleanup
I've read every post and almost every related other topic but unfortunately I can't get it to work, pulling my hairs for days now. Happy to pay someone to help me out if needed.

update: to add, i've basically recreated the second example on this page https://www.haproxy.com/blog/enhanced-ssl-load-balancing-with-server-name-indication-sni-tls-extension#choose-a-server-using-sni-aka-ssl-routing So I believe I'm close, yet not close enough.

Update 4/7:

Got it working!

Now the only thing I would like to achieve is that HAproxy forwards the correct client ip to the real servers due to some security solutions running on their. How can I achieve that? Anyone a clue?

Aah that's what I thought, thank you for confirming.
Now the question is, how to configure HAproxy 

I have it working for HA in HAproxy. but unfortunately the nextcloud config keeps forwarding to the DA host. I've tried to setup just one listener as Patrick suggested but then I'm not able to define a default pool which breaks everything:

With multiple listeners configured only the HA implementation works.

That could be the solution. But can I just use "*" as a domain? Or how should the config look like?

Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Re: Proxy help needed

« on: June 22, 2024, 04:22:08 pm »

That's not really a desired situation. The directadmin server should handle the certificates etc. Isn't there a type of proxy which simply proxies

1.domain.org -> server 1
2.domain.org -> server 2
if none of the above -> server 3 (transparant)

When I disable the NAT rule to the directadmin server caddy works flawless. The question is, how can I make sure that it first runs over caddy and if no domain in the caddy config was found it needs to be forwarded to the DA server.

Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Re: Proxy help needed

« on: June 22, 2024, 02:27:58 pm »

Just installed caddy and created a domain and handler as described in the documentation. Obviously disabled HAproxy. But when I try to connect to the configured domain it's trying to connect to the directadmin server again...

Also a lot of error regarding obtaining a ssl certificate in the log.

Code: [Select]

Thank you for your quick reply! Aah that might be the issue. Does caddy have the same functionality? And could I achieve my goal with Caddy?

Seems easier to maintain so might consider a shift to caddy.

Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / Proxy help needed

« on: June 22, 2024, 01:36:08 pm »

Hi all!

For several days I'm pulling my hairs to solve the following. I have three servers: Directadmin, Home Assistant and Nextcloud. The direct admin server is used by external users and has variable domains which those users add and remove all the time. The HA and Nextcloud servers are more static.

As for now I've configured the directadmin server with plain and simple port forwarding. I want to achieve that if certain domains are used (ha.example.org or nxt.example.org) the firewalls forwards the request to the right internal server, but for all the other requests it should go to directadmin. I've tried configuring it using HAproxy and got it working for Home Assistant since that's running on a different port. But nextcloud is not working (I believe because of overlapping ports 80 & 443 with directadmin) When I do a CURL command to nxt.example.org is shows a certificate from Directadmin.

Does anyone have the golden idea on how to achieve this? And/or what do you need from me (like configs to check what's wrong)

this is my haproxy config:

Web Proxy Filtering and Caching / HAProxy default backends

« on: May 15, 2023, 09:48:48 pm »

HI all,

I'm trying to setup HAproxy but in OPNsense but I can't figure out a way to setup a default backend.
F.E. I have 3 servers running. server 1 & 2 have specific domains but server 3 is a shared hosting platform with hundreds of domains which change on daily basis.

I want HAproxy to serve server 1 or 2, but if none of these conditions are met it has to redirect to server 3. How can I set this up?

Kind regards,

Robert

When I changed the firewall rule it worked for a second. But that could have been a false positive.
This is how the rule is setup now.

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately it doesn't work though. That's exactly what I've setup on the WAN interface.

default gateway on the server seems to work as well:

Code: [Select]

ip -6 route show
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
2a02:a45a:9668:1::c3c3 dev ens18 proto kernel metric 100 pref medium
2a02:a45a:9668:1::/64 dev ens18 proto ra metric 100 pref medium
fe80::/64 dev ens18 proto kernel metric 1024 pref medium
default via fe80::21a:8cff:fe6c:1a56 dev ens18 proto ra metric 100 pref medium
The "fe80::21a:8cff:fe6c:1a56" address also shows on the DMZ interface in the admin GUI.

I should not use the Link-local address to accept the traffic right? (I didn't but just double checking)

General Discussion / IPV6 Webserver

« on: February 08, 2023, 03:45:08 pm »

Hi All,

I'm running into an issue. (Quite new to IPV6)

I've enabled IPV6 successfully on both DMZ and LAN. IPV6 tests are all successful.
This is the situation:
WAN prefix: 2a02:a45a:9668::/48
LAN: 2a02:a45a:9668:0::
DMZ (webserver adress): 2a02:a45a:9668:1::c3c3

I can locally connect to the webserver IPV6 adres without any problems.

In my DMZ I'm trying to make my webserver publicly available: 2a02:a45a:9668:1::c3c3 . But that's where the challenge starts. I thought the only thing I need to do is to Pass 443 to the IPV6 address on the WAN port, but that doesn't cut it.

(Tested with http://ipv6.my-addr.com/ipv6-ready-ipv6-connectivity-ipv6-website-test.php.php?site=2a02%3Aa45a%3A9668%3A1%3A%3Ac3c3)

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Robert
