This snippet shows you how to use haproxy to redirect http traffic to https or any other website.

This snippet was tested on haproxy 1.5.

Recently I removed all Google Ads from this site due to their invasive tracking, as well as Google Analytics. Please, if you found this content useful, consider a small donation using any of the options below. It means the world to me if you show your appreciation and you'll help pay the server costs:

GitHub Sponsorship

PCBWay referral link (You get $5, I get $20 after you've placed an order)

Digital Ocea referral link ($200 credit for 60 days. Spend $25 after your credit expires and I'll get $25!)

To redirect traffic from a haproxy frontend, use the following config:

frontend example-frontend
  bind 10.20.30.40:80
  redirect location https://example.org:443

As you can see, the redirect location can be anything, for example, the ssl version of the frontend or any other website.
