pfSense, nginx reverse proxy and letsencrypt












2















I need help configuring letsencrypt to work with an nginx reverse proxy and pfSense firewall / gateway.



Setup is as follows:



                                                     ->    192.168.0.4 www (apache2)
Internet -> pfSense -> rproxy (nginx) |
1.2.3.4 (public) 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.5 mail (apache2)


I can connect to www and mail using http / port 80, but I need https.





  1. How to set up nginx for https reverse proxy, my current setup is simple:



    server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.domain.ovh;
    location / {
    proxy_pass https://192.168.0.4:80;
    }
    }

    server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mail.domain.ovh;
    location / {
    proxy_pass https://192.168.0.5:80;
    }
    }


  2. How to get letsencrypt to work with this setup.
    I also use letsencrypt for smtp / imap so the certs need to be on the mail host.



I have my own dns server behind pfsense that I have full control of. Domain names resolve over the internet with no issues.
