towonel: A Self-Hosted Tunnel That Doesn't Read Your Traffic — Erwan Leboucher
erwanleboucher.dev
Cloudflare Tunnel decrypts everything. Towonel doesn't.

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!

    I know, the naming isn’t ideal.

    On the bright side, you can now expose multiple tuwunel instances via a single towonel and federate with other tuwunels on other towonels for maximum uwu owo

    Which is almost what my friends and I are doing, except we’re running continuwuity instead of tuwunel.
