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 my next homelab project. I can't wait to give it a go. If anyone has any advise or guides it'd be appreciated

I don't know of alternatives

Pangolin, while u.s. based does not appear to serve the state of its interests

I am not aware of a direct peer, but tailscale, a bastion hosting a direct VPN or remote reverse proxy to your homelab are all similar. Pangolin seemingly combines the best and more of these scenarios

Lawerence systems has a recent video that is pretty indepth.
