Hi All,

Apologies if this isn't the right forum - please move if I've got it wrong!

Has anyone successfully hosted a Unifi controller behind HAProxy running on OpnSense? - I've got a working config at the moment acting as a web proxy, allowing me to access internal resources via external URLs and Lets Encrypt - but if I want to use it as a 'inform URL' for my access points I need to be able to forward UDP/3478 and TCP/8080 - I'm pretty sure I can't forward UDP? I would do this via normal port forwarding rules, but I have a requirement for different rules depending on the URL they are hitting.

Thanks
Leacho

... no UDP mentioned there ...
AFAIK haproxy supports udp just for dgram syslog, no other udp is supported ...
And as portforwarding is working several layers below the URL, I am afraid you will be out of luck with this ...
Maybe nginx can help you here (but this is not my field of expertise ...)
