Routing traffic over VPN

Help!
1

Hi everyone, can anyone help me with this scenario please? I’m very new to HA Proxy.

My client has an HA Proxy running in http mode. They have just setup a VPN to a 3rd party, with only the HA Proxy as a remote host. We need to be able to route http traffic from IP’s on our network behind the HA Proxy over this VPN tunnel to a host on the 3rd party’s network, can someone point me in the right direction?

From what I gather, it will require using both http and tcp modes, as the ACL will be by IP.

Could you please be a little bit more specific? I’m having a hard time trying to imagine your current setup.

For example:

  • say you have your HAProxy server called proxy-1;
  • say you have your internal server called server-1; (is this on your own network, or on the 3rd party’s network?)
  • say you have a browser on a machine called `client-1; (is this on the 3rd party network?)

Now the questions needed to clarify the situation are:

  • each of these machines are part of individual networks, or some of them share the same network? (give them some names, and assign the previous hosts to each network;)
  • between which networks is the VPN established?
  • is the VPN software running on the machines themselves, or the router of these networks handle the VPN?
