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!

Isn't this similar to rathole or frp?

[–] fhoekstra@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

Very similar. The main differences are that those projects are highly configurable and can do a lot of things, while towonel is simpler: opinionated/streamlined for use as a shared Cloudflare tunnel alternative. Besides that, towonel is very new and still in alpha. Rathole does not seem to be actively developed anymore, which can be a good or bad thing.
