Hello, noob here trying to get HAproxy working on my pfsense. I’ve followed Tom’s videos over and over again even the troubleshooting one and I can’t seem to get HAproxy working consistently in my browser. It does work pretty well if I open it in private/incognito mode on both Chrome and Firefox. At this point I am only interested in getting this working locally.
1 Front end, 3 backends all work the same way.
Issues:
Only works in private mode on browser.
When it does work in private mode, a certificate is not always assigned the first time, I have to click refresh 2 or 3 times, then a cert is served.
Normal browser just times out, no error pages.
Steps I’ve checked:
pfsense port was changed so that it doesn’t conflict with haproxy.
If the frontend/backend wasn’t configured properly I assume it wouldn’t work even in private mode.
Openssl check resolves with my correct certificate.
When I perform dig command, it returns the proper IP address of HAproxy.
I feel like there’s a missing checkbox in my front end or certificate configuration but I am wondering if anyone has experienced this issue or what could be happening here. I can post screenshots of my configuration if it helps but considering it opens my webui every time I try in private mode, it has to be something different to the way normal browsing mode is handled.
TIA,
Robert
