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!

Half of Cloudflare's value proposition is the network that provides these services. It's well connected and will have good performance in most places around the world. The software on top is the "easy" part. I'm glad to see other options though. Nice work

Haha don't worry, Erwan is already thinking about high availability and edge nodes closer to clients!

Maybe a Cloudflare competitor like Bunny CDN could use this to build their own tunnel service?
