Hello,
I have just migrated to baremetal kubernetes using pfsense to act as my router/firewall. I have two nat rules that Nat port 443 on the wan to port 443 on a private ip address (10.1.1.3). I do the same on port 80. I am using metallb as my load balancer that does layer 2 advertising of 10.1.1.3. This is so the ingress controller Haproxy can have a type “Load Balancer”.
The application I host is strictly a websocket application with looooong connection times…3-4 hours. I am getting random momentary disconnects at the application layer. I am looking to see if there are any tunables in pfsense that could help. Also what would I look at to make sure that pfsense isn’t overwhelmed with connections. This is not going to be an easy solve I know that as there are complicating factors… But I thought I would start at pfsense. Thanks for any advise.
Brad
