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!

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.

    Yes, but ported C# usually doesn't make for the most idiomatic Python.

    99% of the time that doesn't matter, but a highly security sensitive reverse proxy shared by multiple users most likely part of the stack to be attacked might be an exception.

    I like how you just assumed that what I was doing wasn’t security oriented…
