When did this become a VPN?

[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

AFAIK connecting to the VPN was the functionality of that older desktop app. Now they only added mobile apps

The option to connect a client to the VPN has been there in webgui since at least a month
