These are differentiating from most VPN and zero trust:
+ fully self-hostable open source
+ avoid ACL complexity (default closed architecture)
+ sovereign identity-based
OpenZiti is similar in those – how do you compare and contrast the two since very few others share those differentiators (I am an OZ maintainer)?

Really cool product, impressive how much you've built and the usage you've attained in a short period of time
I was thinking of using this to tunnel all of my public sites, do hide my home ip. But in the end whats the issue of showing my home ip? The attack surface stays the same. I just reverse proxy everything through Caddy. Also weren’t some feature gated behind the cloud version? An appeal for this to replace cloudflare tunnels and tailscale funnel is the _fully_ opensource aspect
The tunneled reverse proxy aspect comes in handy when trying to expose internal apps on a network behind a hard NAT where ports can't be opened and a public IP address isn't available (like CGNAT).
Pangolin is also a VPN like Tailscale/Twingate/etc, so you can access non http resources via a direct connection via WireGuard and NAT traversal.
Thank you, great product, can only recommend it! I've been self-hosting it since last year to access my jellyfin home-server from the web. Set up was easy and I never had any issues.
What are the advantages of this setup rather than reverse proxying right where your jellyfin is?
A single Pangolin server can tunnel to multiple remote networks, centralizing apps from different locations into one place. It also includes VPN clients and handles NAT traversal as an alternative to traditional VPNs for direct connections.
Pangolin has quickly risen almost to the top since being released. It's very well loved by /r/selfhosted.

Pangolin is dual licensed under the AGPLv3 and the Fossorial Commercial License. The community edition includes no commercial license code and is fully AGPL compliant. The enterprise edition is also free to use for personal use.

I replaced CF tunnels, which kept disconnecting every few minutes with it, and happy.
