    Yeah, I just finished migrating everything, and it’s very cool. I’m going to give the clients a spin at some point. It would be cool to be able to map a network folder from my NAS even though I’m away from my home network for example.

    I access most of my services via their domain address when at home anyway. Ideally, I’d have some kind of local DNS that would see those domain requests and route them locally, but I’ve never really found a practical solution to that. It feels like I’d be maintaining two reverse proxies to get that done.

      To keep the DNS lookup local on your own network, you would need to maintain a separate local reverse proxy. That can be used to drive the Pangolin proxy though by just using the domain name defined in the local proxy since the newt instance is checking your local domain on the reverse side.

      That way you don’t need to use IP addresses in your pangolin instance and can use domains defined by your local proxy.
