Hi fellow homelabbers! I hope your day / night is going great.

Just stubled across this self-hosted cloudflare tunnel alternernative called Pangolin.

  • Does anyone use it for exposing their homelab? It looks awesome, but I've never heard of it before.

  • Should I be reluctant since it's developed by a US-based company? I mean security-wise. (I'll remove this question if it's too political.)

  • Does anyone know of alternatives pieces or stacks or software that achieve the same without relying on cloudflare?

Your insights are highly appreciated!

Pangolin is the most user friendly self hosted alternative to Cloudflare tunnels. There are dozens alternatives, but none with that feature set and such a UI.

Thanks for the list! Do you use Pangolin yourself?

No, since at the moment it wants to manage certificates, but I don't intend to run pangolin as my main reverse proxy.
