Comment on VPN server on router or within home network?
ratzki@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoSounds interesting to consider, thank you! Did not know about Pangolin and was considering a wireguard VPN on the router to access my NAS services (jellyfin, files, foto backup), avoiding exposed ports etc, and also to avoid hotel WiFi security risks.
What are the benefits of using the could-pangolin setup vs. wireguard on the router?

I believe Pangolin is also using Wireguard. Pangolin is basically a self hosted Tailscale. I think the biggest advantage is the ease of management, but I’ve never used Pangolin or Tailscale so I couldn’t really tell you.

Pangolin Is a reverse proxy for TLS/https. Headscale is the self hosted Tailscale.

Oh, I must have completely misunderstood what Pangolin is for. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, basically. It does bundle wireguard so that it can reverse proxy services over that. That’s probably what you were thinking of.
