  • Yes you definitely can, first you either got to have a DNS resolver or change the systems hosts files so they can lookup the dns address correctly

    If the dns address “pterodactyl.example.com” points at the machine directly you still have to use the port of the pterodactyl dashboard You can also get a reverse proxy listening on port 443 (if you wan to use https, which I assume is the goal) on that machine or another machine which proxies the name “pterodactyl.example.com” to the right port

    The next part is to get a certificate, you can either create a self-signed root CA and install the root cert on each system, or you have to get it with an ACME client using a dns-01 challange (since “pterodactyl.example.com” is not resolvable from the outside)

    Then put the certificate either on the pterodactyl dashboard itself or the reverse proxy, there are also several reverse proxies that can fetch and reload the cert automatically, for example Caddy can do this with dns plugins

    If you want I can help you with the configuration, I’ve done much of the same thing already


  • Do you have a VPS or server with its own IPv4 address outside your home?

    If you want I can maybe help you with configuring my new tool/service to replace Cloudflare Tunnels

    But it depends on how you use it also, if you want to explain that send me a reply or a private message and I can answer if I think it is possible and give you the basic configuration for it, or check out the project and its sources I posted here


  • Absolutely, I would also be skeptic, it’s why I made it fully inspectable before any download

    It is hard to summarize that exactly, I think it’s a more dynamic and configurable and minimal way to manage tunnels and simple proxies for me, in the readmes and the examples it says and shows what it supports more in detail

    Believe me I also had the same problem, and still has, but nothing is a one fits all for these things

    Thanks for the comment and questions





  • I never said anyone should trust anything, in fact I believe no one should trust me, that is why there are no binaries included, just raw sources to examine and compile yourself

    I’m fully aware of that he also created git, over a decade after, and it has nothing to do with the trusting of Linux, in fact Linux huge size and interest was the reason he created git, it was well trusted long before git, so your point is garbage
