Towonel: Open Source drop-in Cloudflare Tunnel alternative (erwanleboucher.dev)

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!

Oh great. So now there's a tuwunel and a towonel and they're completely different things.

(tuwunel is a fork of the matrix backend conduwuit. not to be confused with continuwuity, another conduwuit fork)

    I know, the naming isn't ideal.

    On the bright side, you can now expose multiple tuwunel instances via a single towonel and federate with other tuwunels on other towonels for maximum uwu owo

    Which is almost what my friends and I are doing, except we're running continuwuity instead of tuwunel.
