So you don’t want to port-forward on your home router or have Cloudflare decrypt all your traffic? Check out Towonel.

Most open source Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives involve setting up a VPS, terminating TLS there on a reverse proxy, then setting up a Wireguard tunnel to your server at home.

Towonel is different: it does not decrypt your traffic on the VPS and you can easily share one, so not every self-hoster has to buy and maintain a VPS.

Check it out!

    So I built towonel. In Rust, partly because I wanted to learn the language properly

    This bit makes me a little wary.

      Why? I didn’t know python until one of my clients decided they would only use it for everything going forward. It took me all of a day to start converting C# code and this was a decade before LLMs.

      Knowledge of a specific language does not reflect development skill.
