Developers, system administrators and self-hosting enthusiasts requiring a solution to publish private applications or services to the internet with full control over access, identity and infrastructure
About Pangolin
Pangolin is an open source, identity-aware tunneled reverse-proxy platform that lets you securely expose applications from any location without opening inbound ports or requiring a traditional VPN. It uses a distributed architecture of globally available nodes to route traffic through encrypted WireGuard tunnels, enabling devices behind NATs or firewalls to serve applications publicly via a central dashboard. Through the unified dashboard, you can manage sites and resources across your infrastructure, define granular access-control rules (such as SSO, OIDC, PINs, geolocation, and IP restrictions), and monitor real-time health and usage metrics. The system supports self-hosting (Community or Enterprise editions) or a managed cloud option, and works by installing a lightweight agent on each site while using the central control server to handle ingress, routing, authentication, and failover.

Webhook Relay
Webhook Relay is a secure tunneling and webhook forwarding platform that lets teams receive webhooks from any source on localhost, on-premise systems, private networks, laptops, Kubernetes clusters, and internal services without exposing private IPs or opening inbound firewall ports. Its main services include Webhook Forwarding, which is secure and unidirectional by default with optional request and response transformation, and Bidirectional Tunneling, which provides fast tunnels for direct access to any HTTP service, internal API, website, backend app, frontend app, or AI model. Users can create public Webhook Relay endpoints, specify one or more internal destinations, run the relay agent through CLI or Docker, and securely tunnel incoming webhooks to private targets. It supports real-time payload and response inspection, request forwarding to multiple destinations, static outgoing IPs for allowlisting, custom subdomains, non-expiring tunnel domains, encrypted tunnels, etc.

ASL Tunnel
ASL Tunnel provides access to locally hosted applications without opening inbound firewall ports. Visitors can reach apps on computers behind home or office routers for previews, webhook delivery, dashboards, camera feeds and internal tools. Developers can share a build with a client, teams can receive webhooks on a machine behind a router, and agencies can demonstrate work without deploying it. Users manage tunnels and access controls through a browser dashboard or command line. New machines can be paired with a one-time code that expires after ten minutes, avoiding the need to share a long-lived credential by chat or email. The companion ASL Tunnel Customer Android app displays tunnel status and alerts; it is free, while service requirements and tunnel charges are separate. ASL Tunnel is designed for developers, small teams, agencies and individuals running applications on computers they manage.
