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?
It looks similar to tailscale and netbird, in that it offers NAT traversal, relays, and proper authentication and access control. Whether or not you need that depends on your circumstances (how many users and their technical proficiency, CG-NAT prevalence, whether you need mesh support, etc).
If you’re just hosting for yourself and you have public ipv4 and ipv6 there’s not much benefit.
