Hi,
I used the search before opening this thread and realized that there are several similar threads, but no one with a solution …
First of all, I am a tech enthusiast with a home lab and don’t manage a data center. However, I have a 10g internet connection that wants to be used, run several servers, and like to learn new things.
Almost two years ago I got in touch with L7 forwarding and cloudflare via this youtube video that describes exactly what I am looking for: Use cloudflare wild card certificates with a free KEMP loadbalancer to do L7 forwarding via subdomains and port 443 to different servers on my network.

However, the free KEMP loadbalancer is limited to 20Mbit/s, so I was looking for a free alternative and started playing around with HAproxy, but never really got it to work and at some point gave up and fell back to KEMP. Now I moved countries, upgraded my home lab, have an even faster internet connection and would like to give it another try.
I found a step-by-step tutorial for HAProxy that describes what I want to accomplish: How to add Cloudflare in front of HAProxy
However, the tutorial is for a GUI version of HAProxy and therefore for people who can afford paying big money / companies. I am looking for something similar that describes how to configure something like that with the free (GUI-less) version.
I also found the free HAProxy-wi and Roxy-Wi, whereof the installation instructions of the former one are not working because of missing files and the latter one requires a donation before it can be tested (I am happy to donate, but I don’t want to donate in the first place and then realize afterwards that it also doesn’t work).
There are also tutorials for pfSense/HAProxy, but I don’t have pfSense.
Is anyone aware of a working tutorial to set something like that up?
If anyone has an example configuration that he/she would be willing to share, I also would be grateful!
Thank you!
