Is it possible to setup HAProxy to route to internal services?
Both with and without ssl certifcates.
Id have dns names from service.local that I want to go to 10.10.1.1:7766 - if this is possible please give me a link to a post och video. 
I’m probably not understanding your question because that just seems like the normal thing to do with HAProxy (or any reverse proxy); have a domain name resolve to the address of the reverse proxy and the connection is forwarded to the upstream server (or “frontend backend” in HAProxy terms).
Of course you won’t find a trusted CA that issues certificates for .local domains, but I assume this is a placeholder?
I would expect yes no cert is needed if you are using HTTP, but if using HTTPS your browser will complain and maybe prevent access.
If you get a wildcard certificate it can be used for internal subdoamins of that wildcard for internal use without getting a certificate error.
@LTS_Tom ofc you have made a video about it. Thanks!
@paolo No my thougth was to use .local on my LAN.
I have only been successul in this if I also have an external DNS entry for that server as well. So, I can’t get HAProxy (pfsense) to forward to a server that is ONLY internal.
