I have several OpnSense systems working and liking it.
Now I would like to set up is putting servers on a private LAN connection and use the OPNsense firewall/web server to forward WAN requests to the correct LAN server.
For example, R + free Shiny for web graphics run servers on port 3838. So I would like to run Shiny on a private LAN server and expose it through a URL redirect through opnsense firewall/web proxy server.
Is this doable with OPNsense? It's a very powerful model because it allows you to effectively firewall your servers from attacks, traffic shape, etc.
THanks

yes, via HAProxy and nginx (not yet published) plugin. The difference is that HAProxy is intended to be run as a load balancer, while nginx contains WAF functionality (currently NAXSI, maybe mod_security in the future).

I looked in the development branch, I guess it's not there yet.
I'd be interested in helping develop this, as my needs are not yet production services.
