Starlink, PFSense, HAProxy, IPv6

Networking & Firewalls
#1

I have followed this guide How To Setup ACME, Let's Encrypt, and HAProxy HTTPS offloading on pfsense - YouTube in the past and have had success using IPv4.

I am looking to setup the same thing only over IPv6. Starlink uses an additional layer of NAT on their IPv4 network which prevents me from using that. My understanding is that this is not the case with their IPv6 network. There would be no need, plenty of addresses to go around. If I am mistaken please let me know. If not I am not sure what steps need to differ from the video. I have done the following but it is still not working.

*I have enabled IPv6 in Advanced/Networking
*Under Interfaces/WAN I have both IPv4 & 6 configuration types set to DHCP & DHCP6 respectivly. Should IPv4 be set to none? I am remote and can’t lose internet connection or I will have to go there to fix.
*No settings where changed under interfaces/LAN
*Port fowarding for HA proxy was done with IPv6 with needed WAN rule
*Acme was setup exactly the same as the video
*DDNS is set up as IPv6 and appears to be updating properly
*The backend is a Blue Iris server which I can access internally on either IPv4 or 6. I have tried using both addresses in the backend settings and neither worked
*The frontend is set to use “WAN address IPv6”

I have not gotten it to work and I don’t know what else there is to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

IPv6 wit HAProxy is not something I have ever tried.

#3

this is interesting, i was looking around to setup ipv6 with haproxy (i got mine from route48)

have you tried to ping your ipv6 from outside and make sure it works? there’s also known issue Configuring 'default-server resolve-prefer ipv4' does not seem to work · Issue #1825 · haproxy/haproxy · GitHub where you have to restart the entire service instead of reloading the config only

I’ve played with it a bit and still unable to get it working.

Can I use a VPN from my starlink location to my fiber location and use the HA proxy from my fiber location to point to the server at my starlink location? If so will openVPN work for this? Not sure of all the rules I would need to make for this to work. I’ll start setting this up and see how far I can get.
