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

[schnerring]

I've been following this excellent guide to a tee, but I get the following warning:

[WARNING] (51339) : Proxy '1_HTTP_frontend': L6 sample fetches ignored on HTTP proxies (declared at /usr/local/etc/haproxy.conf.staging:69).
Warnings were found.
Configuration file is valid

This is the affected part of the HAProxy config (the last line is 69):

For reference, other people also encountered this issue:

• Reply #191 and after in this thread
• HAProxy warnung nach update auf 22.1 - L6 sample fetches ignored on HTTP proxies
• https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9261

The issue seems to be the NoSSL_condition. The suggested solution is to replace the condition type from Traffic is SSL (TCP request content inspection)  to Traffic is SSL (locally deciphered):

     # logging options
     # ACL: NoSSL_condition
-    acl acl_629f48c6073c95.86527303 req.ssl_ver gt 0
+    acl acl_629f48c6073c95.86527303 ssl_fc

     # ACTION: HTTPtoHTTPS_rule
     http-request redirect scheme https code 301 if !acl_629f48c6073c95.86527303


When doing so, the warning is gone. However, this is the first time I'm using HAProxy and I don't really know what I'm doing, so I wanted to check-in with you guys to ensure my solution is correct?

If so, I'd appreciate if you updated the screenshot in step 5.7 @TheHellSite

Thanks for the detailed explanation!
I already had this on my to do list, but then couldn't find the time for it and in the end simply forgot about it.

The HAProxy docs are also stating to use the "ssl_fc" condition.
https://www.haproxy.com/blog/redirect-http-to-https-with-haproxy/

I will change it in the next couple of days!

  • Changed the IP address of the "SSL_server" to one that belongs to the localhost subnet.
  • Updated the "NoSSL_condition" based on the HAProxy docs.

Hello,

I just recently upgraded my home network with an opnsense and want to reconfigure some stuff in the same run.
Luckily I found this tutorial which was really easy to follow through, especally because of the screenshots :-)
Sadly I must have done something wrong but I can't put my finger on it.
When I try to access from internal LAN (IP address or Name), I get the following error:

• Firefox:SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
• Edge:ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

From external (via mobile data):
503 Service Unavailable

If I enter http://IP_ADRESS then it opens the Nextcloud Login page but after entering the login data, it switches to https:// and the error appears.

Maybe you can push me in the right direction :-)

Since you are forcing HAProxy to use TLS 1.3. (As you use no-sslv3 no-tlsv10 no-tlsv11 no-tls-tickets no-tlsv12)
There might be issue taking out TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256.

According to RFC 8446, S9.1

A TLS-compliant application MUST implement the TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 [GCM] cipher suite and SHOULD implement the TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 [GCM] and TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 [RFC8439] cipher suites (see Appendix B.4).

Although it shouldn't have any effect by implementing a Cipher List, but Cipher List should be removed under TLS 1.3.



From external (via mobile data):
503 Service Unavailable

one of the reasons can be: it cannot read the map file, so it doesn't redirect to target backend.
Some device is hard to load map files during boot time. (One of my setup under Esxi is having such issue)
Apply the HAProxy one more time after all services finished loading can make it read the map file again. Or you can implement condition and rule to ignore such issue
example:
Condition name: nextcloud_cond, condition type: host contains, Host Contains: nextcloud
Rule name: nextcloud_ru, Test type: IF, Select conditions: nextcloud_cond, Execute function: Use specified backend Pool, Use backend pool: NEXTCLOUD_backend

[PaulePils]

Thanks for your input. I changed the cipher accordingly to https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=haproxy&version=2.1&config=modern&openssl=1.1.1d&guideline=5.6 and also applied your rule but still no success.
I am just curios because in the main post the value TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 is also left out  ???

Out of curiosity I tried do enter the only the main domain DOMAIN.dedyn.io and not SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.dedyn.io. Then I get a different error

Firefox vertraut dieser Website nicht, weil das von der Website verwendete Zertifikat nicht für DOMAIN.dedyn.io gilt. Das Zertifikat ist nur gültig für *.DOMAIN.dedyn.io.
SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

I can accept the risk but this is something I need to do on all devices...

Could the problem be that I already had DynDNS by another provider and LE certificate? If yes how can I revoke it?

[TheHellSite]

When I try to access from internal LAN (IP address or Name), I get the following error:

• Firefox:SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
• Edge:ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

This error usually means that you tried to access a service using HTTPS that only supports HTTP.

internal LAN (IP address or Name)

What do you mean by that? You should use the FQDN and not the local hostname / IP in order to use the reverse proxy (HAProxy).

If I enter http://IP_ADRESS then it opens the Nextcloud Login page but after entering the login data, it switches to https:// and the error appears.

Again, which IP are you entering? The nextcloud local IP or your public IP?
Your public IP should ALWAYS forward HTTP to HTTPS and not display any webpages via HTTP whatsoever! (HTTPtoHTTPS_rule)

My Network:
ISP --> Modem --> OPNSense --> Proxmox --> Server 1 Nextcloud

Is the firewall in your modem disabled or is it still doing NAT?

Thanks for your input. I changed the cipher accordingly to https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=haproxy&version=2.1&config=modern&openssl=1.1.1d&guideline=5.6 and also applied your rule but still no success.
I am just curios because in the main post the value TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 is also left out  ???

You won't need any 128 bit ciphers unless you are using very very old devices to access your services which I highly doubt since you only want to enable TLS v1.3 anyway.
So you can safely use the cipher suites in my first post which are identical to the ones from the Mozilla SSL configurator but have the "insecure / weak" 128 bit ciphers removed.

Out of curiosity I tried do enter the only the main domain DOMAIN.dedyn.io and not SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.dedyn.io. Then I get a different error

Firefox vertraut dieser Website nicht, weil das von der Website verwendete Zertifikat nicht für DOMAIN.dedyn.io gilt. Das Zertifikat ist nur gültig für *.DOMAIN.dedyn.io.
SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

I can accept the risk but this is something I need to do on all devices...

Could the problem be that I already had DynDNS by another provider and LE certificate? If yes how can I revoke it?

Well, the error is pretty much self-explanatory isn't it?
In my tutorial the wildcard certificate is only valid for the 2nd-level subdomains "*.DOMAIN.dedyn.io" but not for the 1st-level subdomain "DOMAIN.dedyn.io" itself.

If you want the certificate to also cover for "domain.dedyn.io" then you will have to change the certificate in the ACME client to match that. See Part 3 - Step 6.
You will however only need this if you are serving a website in the domain root without "www" infront of it.

Code Select Expand

# currently configured
Common Name = *.DOMAIN.dedyn.io

# what you MIGHT want
Common Name = DOMAIN.dedyn.io
Alt Names = *.DOMAIN.dedyn.io


This will cover the 1st-level subdomain including all 2nd-level subdomains.
Don't forget to reissue the certificate.

Well, in order to get an 100% A+ rating at SSL Labs it is mandatory to remove any ciphers below or equal to 128 bit. This is why I haven't included them in my cipher list and cipher suites.
So unless you have really old devices with outdated browsers I would suggest to only use ciphers with a strength of 256 bit or above.

When I try to access from internal LAN (IP address or Name), I get the following error:

• Firefox:SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
• Edge:ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

This error usually means that you tried to access a service using HTTPS that only supports HTTP.

Does this mean I need an additional vhost config for the Nextcloud? One for :80 and one for :443? But the certificate lies on a different machine (opnsense). How can I point it there? Or am I missing something?
By deleting the "overwirte" codes in the nextcloud config I at least got access in my internal LAN. I assume the HAProxy config is correct and I need to make corrections in the nextcloud config.

internal LAN (IP address or Name)

What do you mean by that? You should use the FQDN and not the local hostname / IP in order to use the reverse proxy (HAProxy).

It was the IP address of the Nextcloud machine. But if it doesn't work that way that is new for me but thanks for pointing it out.

If I enter http://IP_ADRESS then it opens the Nextcloud Login page but after entering the login data, it switches to https:// and the error appears.

Again, which IP are you entering? The nextcloud local IP or your public IP?
Your public IP should ALWAYS forward HTTP to HTTPS and not display any webpages via HTTP whatsoever! (HTTPtoHTTPS_rule)

I entered the local IP address of the nextcloud machine. But this also happens when I enter the FQDN.

My Network:
ISP --> Modem --> OPNSense --> Proxmox --> Server 1 Nextcloud

Is the firewall in your modem disabled or is it still doing NAT?

It is dumb modem (TC-4400) therefor it should not have NAT. It only provides the connection to my ISP (Vodafone Cable).

    server Nextcloud 192.168.10.40:443 ssl verify none
This line in your HAProxy config indicates that you are accessing your nextcloud webinterface from your local network using "https://192.168.10.40".
If the above is not true and you are accessing it using "http://192.168.10.40" instead then you should have figured your error after reading this sentence.

IF you can already access nextcloud from within your local using its Local_IP:Port then you won't have to change any settings at nextcloud.

Also... Please do yourself a favour and read about what a reverse proxy is, what it does and how it works.
No offense but I think you don't really know what you are doing here.

Hi! First off, i want to thank you for the detailed guide you posted. I am new to HAProxy and have some questions regarding some configs, do you still reply to this post? or should i ask or open another thread somewhere? Thanks!

Thanks! So, i set up HAP as per the guide, and am wondering if its a normal consequence to have 503 error on my truenas webui. Internally i can acces it no problems, outside of the home network i am unable to. Sidenote, i do not plan to expose the web ui or planned to. I was just using it as a sort of test run to see if it will resolve to my domain.truenas.com. I also did expose plex under port 32400. But seem to encounter some TLS handshake errors. It would be nice if you could take a look at my config and point me in the right direction. I did only a A and AAAA record for wildcard hostname i.e *.mydomain.com. I dont know if thats enough.
My general goal is to only expose plex and some other services like nextcloud, but thats for another section of the forums. Also my network is kinda flat. All services run through a single VLAN.
I created two Servers and two backends. One for Truenas and plex respectively.
i have been trying to make a stable connection to plex but it just seems to either time out or lose connection after a while.

Heres and output of my config file, i have some disabled stuff in the config file since i turn on and off stuff for testing. Also renamed some stuff, truenas is just the Physical server with the IP. (myloopbackip) is the virutal address.

I've followed the article and able to setup few subdomain to internal machines in my network.

I have dumb questions... when I created new real server and backend server for one my Synology packages, I initially used HTTPS port and received 400 bad request error The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port

When I changed the port in real server settings to HTTP request, everything worked fine and I am able to access the internal server with SSL certificate.

Why?

FAQ - Do I need to enable "SSL" in the Real Server configuration of a service?

Thanks for NOT reading my first post properly.  :(
I explained everything there very well.
