I recently switched over from PFSense to OPNSense and wanted to keep using HAProxy so I followed this guide but I cannot seem to get it to work.
I'm using a VPN on my phone to try connecting from an outside source and when I try to go to the address I get net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
At the same time I see two informational log entries in the HAProxy log file:

Code Select Expand

2025-07-13T13:23:39-05:00 Informational haproxy Connect from <server_ip>:58866 to <external_ip>:443 (1_HTTPS_frontend/HTTP)
2025-07-13T13:23:39-05:00 Informational haproxy Connect from <server_ip>:58866 to <external_ip>:443 (0_SNI_frontend/TCP)
The service I'm trying to connect to is on port 8123 so I'm not sure why it is trying to connect from 58866. Each time I try to connect this number changes in the log.
The only two deviations with my setup is that I am not using a virtual IP so I am using 127.0.0.1 and I am connected to my ISP through PPPoE but neither of these are probably important.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong would be great.

Edit:
So I have managed to solve my issues and none of them were HAProxy issues. The PPPoE was an issue because Centurylink was not routing external traffic correctly and didn't seem like they were going to help unless I put their router back in place. And the other issue was with Home Assistant that I solved with https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/http/#reverse-proxies
