Comment on Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network
ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago To say it’s debatable if it’s a suite of tools is just wrong.
How is it wrong to say it is debatable when Traefik and WireGuard have quite literally done majority of the development. Pangolin is just a man in the middle.
Pangolin uses gerbil with newt for those wireguard tunnels. That’s a massive improvement already. It also adds a bunch more features like vpn.
According to the Newt ReadMe -
Newt is a fully user space WireGuard tunnel client and TCP/UDP proxy, designed to securely expose private resources controlled by Pangolin. By using Newt, you don’t need to manage complex WireGuard tunnels and NATing.
Seems to me that WireGuard is their primary dependency, without WireGuard what use is it?
you can crowdsec
According to Pangolin docs they rely on the Crowdsec middleware offered by Traefik.
By default, Crowdsec is installed with a basic configuration, which includes the Crowdsec Bouncer Traefik plugin

Do you not understand what a suite of tools is? It’s a curated collection of tools that have been chosen to work together. You’re describing the reasons why Pangolin is in fact a full suite. You’re right, Pangolin is the bit that orchestrates them and brings them together with an easier way to manage them. That’s what a suite of tools does.
