Hello piba, hello list
I am just overwhelmed by the possibilities that haproxy is offering!
If someone else needs a protocol switch as described, look at the
appended documentation.
Following piba's idea and since apache does not provide native support
for the proxy-protocol (unfortunately), I implemented a tcp protocol
switch that directs openvpn connections to the server port 10443 and the
SSL connection to the second frontend listening to SSL on port 60443.
The proxy protocol is used between protocol switch and SSL termination,
configured by send-proxy and accept-proxy, respectively. Thus, the
client's IP can be added later using the x-forwarded-for header via the
http backend.
Maybe this could be improved more but all this is working perfectly now.
Thank you very much!

Hello list
I'm quite new to haproxy, and I've managed to use it with SSL
passthru and as SSL termination.
I've also startet looking into the code to find the answers or
solutions to what I want to achieve.
I have OpenVPN and HTTPS running on the same port. This can be done
with several setups whereof using the openvpn port sharing feature is
the easiest.
But now I need to know the remote IP addresses in order to be able to
lock out abusive access to the web server. Https used to be unharmed
by exploitative access, but now it's getting a problem. With http, I
can reduce the traffic by locking out ip adresses using fail2ban.
With https, I cannot see the ip address, so there is no way to lock
them out selectively.
Any tool that does the backend switching cannot add an
x-forwarded-for http header and be the SSL end point at the same
time. Haproxy seems to be the only tool that might be able to handle
both.
Looking at the code of haproxy, it seems to me that once I configure
a bind with ssl, it just drops all connections that do not begin wih
a SSL handshake.
However, it seems to be feasible to alter the code in order to fall
back to a non-ssl connection if the hadshake fails.
Has someone of you already tried to accomplish such, or am I missing
a detail that makes this impossible?

Hi Martin,
Not sure if this will work with openvpn, but you could try it..
This mail might interest you:
http://marc.info/?l=haproxy&m=132375969032305&w=2
First split out TCP traffic to different backends depending on data
send from the client.
Then possibly feed it from a backend server back to a second frontend
where you handle the ssl-offloading if desired, while using proxy
protocol to keep client-ip information, and namespaces or unixsockets
for the connection between the two.
Again, i have not tested it, but this seems like it could be a way to
configure it with current options..

PiBa-NL
