Viewing profile — fossorialowen

I think with the web UI it is a little more user friendly but not as super familiar with FRP. I think we might have a little more authentication control on top of the tunnel for we…

We are always looking for security experts to review the code and to pen test the application. Please hammer it and let us know at privacy@fossorial.io if there are any issues! As …

Good question. I think absolute worse case scenario the tunnel and VPS is compromised and someone is able to gain access to the private network. We advise people in the docs to alw…

It looks like there might be some overlap. There are a bunch of solutions in this space! It looks like they do provide public access to resources which is what Pangolin does. We mi…

From the little I understand about it I think you may be able to deploy Pangolin on it. Would need to do some research. But you could also use Pangolin to provide access to a self …

Haha valid concern. We are actually using Traefik to do the reverse proxying which is a pretty standard reverse proxy written in Go! Our tunnel client Newt is also written in Go. T…

It might be a bit too heavy for a MCU like ESPs. IoT we are thinking more like cellular modems, UPSs, cameras - devices that need remote access in the field at remote places that y…

Yes we have had some PR and some active ones that we need to merge soon haha. We have not had any concern about the CLA that we are aware of. It was important that we found a way t…

Great good to hear!

Yes and they are a "Fossorial" animal. A fossorial animal is one that is adapted to digging and which lives primarily (but not solely) underground. It was kind of a fun name to cal…

Thanks!

We are coming for them!

Yep thats correct. All based on wireguard-go. It is growing in what it can do now but at its core its just a Wireguard wrapper that coordinates with Pangolin to get the tunnel up. …

Good advice in this thread. If its just you then ssh tunnels or tailscale or netbird or pure wireguard are all fine. You could use Pangolin for this and put auth in front of the we…

Yes! Most people I think rent a VPS (some can be had for like $1 a month) and install this. Because it tunnels back to your network your network can be anywhere behind anything and…

Pangolin is "public ingress to private networks" and not a mesh VPN/network builder. As you say I think NetBird is an alternative to Tailscale and we are an alternative to Cloudfla…

Yes it can! You can point them all to the VPS as you say then just add them to the config file domains list. You can add as many as you need. https://docs.fossorial.io/Pangolin/Con…

Coming soon! We are going to do a docs revamp!

This is true! But you have a little more control over who you might choose to trust. For example - you might trust AWS not to snoop in your VM more than you might trust CF to not c…

Yes! Thats where it excels I think. If you want public authenticated access for your users and / or need that tunneling component to get into your network or a set of distributed n…

I think if that works for you then stick with it! Pangolin would mostly do the same thing. I think if you wanted more auth control like users and pin codes and OIDC and roles you m…

Yes I think so. I know it works quiet well in compose but as you scale to swarm I am not sure if there would be pains. You can just pop the connector into your compose stack and it…

Thanks! I think what you are using (SSH, Tailscale) is great for your use case! We see this as more of a static and permanent tunnel to a service - less ephemeral than a ssh tunnel…

Hello Eveyone, this is the other maintainer here. Just wanted to add some more detail about the other components of this system: Pangolin uses Traefik under the hood to do the actu…
