Any experience with Pangolin? (lemmy.ml)

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!

I think Pangolin works a bit differently... Correct me if I'm wrong...

Where headscale is a coordination server for a wireguard mesh, pangolin is a reverse proxy server that connects to the backend services via wireguard tunnels

That's likely true.

The first I heard of Pangolin was in a conversation that followed on from one about head/tailscale and I accept that I may have jumped to a conclusion. I am certain I've seen people talking about using it as a reverse proxy tool. Just found a blog post on the tailscale site talking about how to do it and they're using tailscale and caddy, rather than everything being handled by tailscale alone, so I'll accept that I'm wrong on this one. https://tailscale.com/blog/last-reverse-proxy-you-need
