fuck yeah been waiting on this!! yay for grandmother!
I’ve had pangolin running for a while, doing tunneling to some self hosted resources, and I’m confused by this announcement and update. It seems like they’re suggesting to use an Android/iOS client to connect to Pangolin protected resources, which seems like a shitload more work and overhead than just using wireguard to do the same thing. Am i missing something here?
When did this become a VPN?
AFAIK it always has been one https://dbtechreviews.com/2025/01/15/exploring-pangolin-the-self-hosted-cloudflare-tunnel-alternative/
It’s a WireGuard VPN with a bunch of automation to make using it as a reverse proxy easier
Its interesting that the VPN is exposed now

It’s great that Obtainium exists but that’s not my point. Behind pangolin is a company. Which in a way claims to be “one of us” - distributes open source code, with one of proper licenses, etc. Yet, when they deliver a binary, they only put it on big tech service. They didn’t say “f-droid coming”, which is normal as putting up f-droid builds sometimes takes time, not even “f-droid will be evaluated”. Maybe I’ve become a hardliner but in my book thats a few “sus points” from me
I use pangolin. I use their cloud offer and I’m preparing to move to self-hosted one. But I say: don’t throw away wireguard notes yet, pangolin might enshittify once they get a following
