This is super exciting! The “Cloudflare Tunnel” lock-in has always bugged me, so seeing an open source option is genuinely refreshing. I’m especially curious how Pangolin handles the gritty stuff—flaky networks, authentication headaches, scaling up when things get real. If anyone’s kicked the tires on this in the wild, how does it compare to the “it just works” magic of Cloudflare? Bonus points if you’ve wrangled it into playing nice with self-hosted stuff on a home connection. For context, I’ve got a Raspberry Pi running my blog and a bunch of other hobby projects from home, so real-world stories would be gold.


Pangolin keeps evolving. Here's a great overview from 3 months ago, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VdwOL7nYkY

Getting `Cloudflare Tunnel error`


Oh, the irony. Just checked on mobile data, VPN etc. Seem to be working.
