Pangolin

Open-source networking and security platform that exposes web applications and private networks through a reverse proxy and WireGuard tunnels.

Pangolin publishes web applications and private networks through a reverse proxy and WireGuard tunnels, and applies identity-based access rules to them. The control plane is the Pangolin server application. It keeps its state in a SQLite or PostgreSQL database and pushes configuration to nodes, site connectors and clients over WebSocket. Users can sign in through an external OIDC identity provider. The quick install guide runs a self-hosted server through an installer that starts its containers with Docker. A node runs several cooperating processes, among them Traefik and Gerbil, as the system architecture page describes. Pangolin Cloud, a managed service, runs the same codebase as the self-hosted server.

Worth knowing

The repository is not uniformly AGPL-3: files that carry the Fossorial Commercial License header follow that license instead. The Enterprise Edition features need a license key on a separate Docker image, as the Enterprise Edition page states.
