Gately keeps your domain names current, forwards ports, terminates HTTPS, and blocks hostile traffic from one admin console, so a server or home network needs no pile of separate gateway tools. Dynamic DNS updates records at Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, DNSPod, Huawei Cloud, Route 53, OVHcloud, Gandi, Namecheap, DuckDNS, and other providers, finding the public address over IPv4 or IPv6 by URL, network interface, or command. Port forwarding relays TCP and UDP with port ranges, failover targets, connection limits, traffic statistics, and PROXY protocol, while SNI routing lets several services share port 443. Certificates are issued and renewed through ACME with DNS-01 wildcards or HTTP-01, then pushed to other hosts over SSH. Web services add per-domain reverse proxies, redirects, and static sites with HTTP/3, WebSocket, load balancing, health checks, rate limiting, caching, and sign-in through OIDC, GitHub, Google, or TOTP-protected shared users. A WAF running the OWASP Core Rule Set and fail2ban-style jails with trap ports and nftables bans guard the edge. Manage Docker containers and Compose projects with one-click upgrades and rollback, open SSH sessions with an SFTP file manager, run ping, traceroute, and speed tests, and receive alerts in Telegram, Discord, Slack, ntfy, or email. An audit log, config history with diff and rollback, encrypted backups, scoped API tokens, and Prometheus metrics round it out.

Providing an intuitive control plane for modern reverse proxy infrastructure, CaddyUI enables system administrators to manage proxy hosts, automated TLS certificates, and traffic routing without hand-editing configuration files. Operators can create and adjust reverse proxy destinations, URL path rewrites, custom headers, and redirection rules using structured forms that validate against the proxy engine before saving. The platform coordinates automatic ACME certificate requests and renewals, displaying live certificate expiration timelines, validation stages, and internal self-signed certificate authority options for local network services. Fleet management tools synchronize proxy rules across multiple distributed server instances, preventing configuration drift across staging and production clusters. Automated post-deployment health checks verify upstream endpoint availability, HTTP status codes, and latency thresholds, instantly rolling back to the previous configuration if an expectation fails. An integrated observability suite delivers real-time visitor traffic analytics, geographic maps, HTTP response code breakdowns, and single-click client IP blocking to counter malicious probing attempts. Administrators can schedule automated database backups, configure multi-user access with role permissions, and integrate CrowdSec threat intelligence to protect backends.

Where Traefik's built-in dashboard only shows what is running, Traefik Manager lets you change it: add routes, middlewares, and services from forms and wizards instead of editing YAML by hand. A first-run wizard connects to the Traefik API, creates a route for the manager itself, and sets the admin password. After that, the dashboard turns every route into a launchable app card with live health, and the Route Map draws each request from entry point through middlewares to backend. New routes use a slide-in form for HTTP, TCP, or UDP with several domains and backends, sticky sessions, and health checks. 30 middleware wizards handle authentication, rate limiting, headers, CORS, and redirects, and weighted, mirroring, or failover services can be built on their own. For day-to-day monitoring, the Certificates tab tracks expiry from acme.json, the Logs tab turns the access log into clickable analytics, the CrowdSec tab lists attacks and bans, and alerts reach Discord, Slack, ntfy, Telegram, and more. Changes to traefik.yml apply with a one-click restart, every edit is backed up locally and can be pushed to a git repository, and a lightweight agent brings remote Traefik servers into the same interface. Sign in with TOTP two-factor or OIDC single sign-on, in any of 14 languages.

With over 14,000 GitHub stars and a growing global network of security deployments, CrowdSec turns every attack on any participating server into protection for the entire community. The security engine operates as a combined IDS/IPS and WAF, analyzing log sources from Nginx, Apache, SSH, WordPress, and over 50 other services to detect brute force attacks, port scans, web vulnerability exploitation, and credential stuffing in real time. When one server detects a new threat, the attacker's IP is shared through the community blocklist, proactively protecting thousands of other installations before the attacker can reach them. The built-in WAF powered by Coraza v3 inspects HTTP requests at the application layer, validates against OpenAPI schemas, and applies custom rules with flexible AND/OR condition mixing for precise threat detection. Bot detection serves challenge pages with client fingerprinting to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated scrapers and scanners. Remediation components block malicious IPs at multiple infrastructure layers including iptables, nftables, Nginx, HAProxy, Cloudflare, and AWS Security Groups through the detect-here-remedy-there architecture. The scenario-based detection system ships with default rules for common attack patterns and supports custom scenarios written in YAML with an expressive filter language. A centralized console provides real-time visualization of alerts, threat intelligence analysis, and management of multiple distributed security engines. GDPR compliant by design, all log analysis happens locally and raw logs never leave your infrastructure.

HAProxy Cluster Manager puts a web console on top of HAProxy, so you publish services, issue certificates, and cluster nodes from forms instead of hand-editing haproxy.cfg. Publishing a service takes two inputs, the public URL and the backend address, and the wizard builds the frontend, backend pool, host condition, routing rule, HTTPS listener, certificate, and HTTP redirect, with a preview of the exact configuration before anything applies. Every change is rendered and checked with haproxy -c before it is written, and a failed reload rolls back to the previous file automatically. Certificates come from Let's Encrypt through acme.sh, using HTTP-01 or DNS-01 with about 190 DNS providers, and renewals reload HAProxy and push the new certificate to every node on their own. Any number of nodes share one virtual IP through Keepalived: configuration and certificates sync between them, only the node holding the address is editable, and the dashboard flags split brain, an unclaimed virtual IP, or a node running stale configuration. You can gate services behind basic sign-in or OIDC single sign-on enforced by HAProxy itself, watch traffic statistics and logs, take transition alerts by email, Pushover, or webhook, and expose Prometheus metrics and Home Assistant entities.

CAPTCHAs make every visitor solve a puzzle to prove they are human; Mosparo takes the opposite route and checks the submitted content itself, no challenges, no image grids, and no tracking cookies. Drop the customizable checkbox widget into any form and Mosparo inspects each field separately, scoring the entry against your rules the way an email spam filter scores a message. Build field rules for banned words, domains, email addresses, IP addresses and subnets, providers, Unicode blocks, user agents, and websites, each with its own rating weight, or subscribe to shared rule packages that refresh themselves automatically. Every submission lands in an admin inbox with its spam rating, IP address, and verification status, and dashboard charts show valid versus spam traffic plus delayed or blocked requests over time. Legitimate users notice nothing but a plain checkbox, which stays fully usable with assistive technology, while everything Mosparo stores is encrypted and automatically deleted after 14 days. Run one instance for many sites with separate projects, project groups, and member roles, and connect your forms over the documented API from any stack that can send an HTTP request. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

The CAPTCHA bargain - annoy your users and feed their behavior to Google - gets replaced with economics by mCaptcha. Instead of image puzzles, it uses SHA256 proof-of-work: every visitor's browser silently solves a small computational challenge (via a WebAssembly library) before submitting a form. Humans never notice the milliseconds; bots hammering your site must burn more compute sending requests than your server spends answering them, which makes attacks more expensive than defense - the property that also makes mCaptcha genuine DoS protection, not just bot filtering. Written in Rust, the system is fully automated: difficulty scales with traffic, so challenges stay trivial in normal conditions and harden under attack. The privacy and accessibility wins are structural rather than promised: no tracking, no profiling, no user-pattern data collection, and no visual puzzles that exclude users with visual or cognitive impairments - the design was published in Communications of the ACM. Rate limiting is IP-independent, so users behind NATs, VPNs, or Tor get the same experience instead of endless challenge loops, and proofs resist replay attacks, neutering captcha farms. Migration is deliberately easy: the API is compatible with reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, making it a drop-in replacement. AGPL-licensed core with proprietary-friendly client libraries.

CrowdSec Web UI provides a centralized web console for monitoring intrusion detection telemetry, managing firewall remediation decisions, and auditing security events across multiple CrowdSec security engines. Administrators can connect several CrowdSec Local API endpoints simultaneously, aggregating threat intelligence and active bans into a unified visual interface. The dashboard displays geographic origins of attacking IP addresses, active remediation durations, and specific scenario triggers such as brute-force authentication attacks or web vulnerability probes. Operators can search through historical alert logs, inspect raw HTTP request details, and drill down into individual IP behaviors to differentiate authentic threats from false positives. Manual intervention tools let security teams enforce custom IP bans, adjust expiration timers, or immediately revoke erroneous bans across all connected bouncers with a single click. Integrated notification pipelines dispatch real-time security alerts to external destinations including ntfy, Gotify, and MQTT message brokers whenever critical thresholds are breached. Built-in Prometheus metrics dashboards visualize processing latencies, parser throughput, and decision counts over customizable time windows.

Automate your entire SSL and TLS lifecycle with Certimate, an infrastructure-grade certificate management platform that handles domain verification, ACME issuance, scheduled renewals, and multi-cloud deployment from one unified control plane. A drag-and-drop workflow designer lets administrators construct visual pipelines linking domain validation, certificate issuance from Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL, and automated distribution to edge destinations. Built-in automation interfaces connect with over seventy DNS providers to handle automated DNS-01 challenge record creation and cleanup without manual API scripting. Engineers can deploy renewed certificates directly to Nginx, Apache, Traefik, and Caddy instances via automated SSH commands or native webhooks. Cloud delivery workflows push updated certificates to AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Kubernetes Ingress secrets without service interruption. The web management console tracks expiration dates across multiple domains, highlights failing renewal attempts, and dispatches instant alerts through email, Telegram, DingTalk, and enterprise webhooks before outages occur.

Certificate lifetimes are collapsing toward 47 days, which turns TLS from a yearly chore into a weekly one, and CertMate is the control plane that makes that schedule boring. It issues and renews certificates from Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Google Trust Services, Actalis, DigiCert, SSL.com, Sectigo, or your own private CA, validating by DNS-01 through 29 DNS providers, HTTP-01, or a CSR whose private key never leaves the device. Renewals run automatically, earlier when a certificate's life is short or the CA moves the date through ARI, and deploy hooks push each renewed certificate where it is actually served, then probe the live endpoint to prove the new certificate answers. Discovery watches hosts and certificate transparency logs for certificates you did not issue, folding them into one inventory of what is served where and when it expires. Certificates rest on local disk or in Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Infisical, or S3 storage, with encrypted backups copied off-site. Its built-in CA issues client certificates for mTLS with OCSP and CRL, and can serve ACME itself, so certbot, lego, acme.sh, and cert-manager get internal certificates under EAB rules you define. Every action lands in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail you can export and verify independently.

Your internal services deserve certificates your browsers actually trust, without a spreadsheet tracking when each one expires. mkcertWeb wraps the mkcert tool in a web interface where you generate certificates for any mix of hostnames, wildcards, and IP addresses, then download them as PEM, CRT, or PKCS#12 bundles for servers and client authentication. The certificate list groups everything by state, needs attention, healthy, read-only, or archived, showing days remaining, subject alternative names, and SHA-256 fingerprints at a glance. You can upload existing certificate and key files for viewing, attach a free-text note to each certificate, and archive or restore entries without ever overwriting a certificate of the same name. The root CA page offers downloads and install instructions for macOS, Linux, and Windows, and can generate a fresh CA for a new deployment. Devices enroll through the built-in SCEP server using one-time challenge passwords and templates, with an optional enterprise CA signing manual enrollments. A scheduled monitor checks expiry daily and sends alerts through SMTP email, ntfy, or an HTTP webhook, with test buttons for every channel. Settings save from the browser with secret masking, sign-in supports passwords or OpenID Connect single sign-on, and light and dark themes work down to phone width.

Ultimate Certificate Manager, or UCM, runs your own certificate authority from a web interface, so issuing, renewing, and revoking certificates stops being a pile of OpenSSL commands. Create root and intermediate CAs, arrange them in a hierarchy, and manage every certificate through its life: issue, sign, renew in place, revoke with a reason, and export as PEM, DER, PKCS#12, or JKS. Devices and servers enroll themselves through ACME, SCEP, and EST endpoints, while OCSP answers status checks in real time and CRL distribution points publish revocations on schedule. Network discovery scans your address space and reports the certificates it finds, so expiring or unknown certificates surface before they cause an outage. Templates define server, client, code-signing, email, and smartcard profiles, with key types from RSA and elliptic curves to post-quantum ML-DSA, and issuance policies can route sensitive requests through an approval queue. Signing keys can live in an HSM so private material never leaves the hardware, and every key at rest can be encrypted under a master key. Operators sign in with passwords, TOTP, WebAuthn, mTLS, LDAP, OAuth2, or SAML, and role-based permissions decide who may issue, approve, or merely audit.

Combining Docker container labels with a live web control plane, DockFlare automates Cloudflare Tunnel ingress routing, multi-zone DNS records, and Zero Trust Access policies across self-hosted infrastructure. DevOps engineers and homelab operators can attach simple container labels to expose HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, SSH, and RDP services publicly in seconds without clicking through external cloud dashboards. For non-containerized workloads such as bare-metal hypervisors or network appliances, administrators can define manual ingress rules, path-based routes, custom TLS SNI headers, and origin certificate bypass flags directly in the web interface. Security teams use reusable Access Groups and wildcard zone policies to enforce Google, GitHub, Azure AD, or custom OIDC authentication across every subdomain from a single policy definition. Distributed deployments connect lightweight remote agents back to the primary controller using Zero Trust service tokens so multi-host clusters share one unified routing view. When containers stop or restart, configurable grace-period timers prevent accidental route churn before cleaning up stale DNS entries, while encrypted state backups protect your entire ingress configuration.

TLSPROXY puts automatic Let's Encrypt TLS in front of every service on your server, so many names can share one port while each backend gets exactly the encryption treatment it needs. Terminate TLS and hand plain text to a local service. Pass raw TLS straight through when the proxy should see nothing. Or terminate and re-encrypt towards a TLS backend, with client certificates checked on the way in. QUIC and HTTP/3 connections terminate here too, and Encrypted Client Hello keeps even the handshake private. Certificates arrive and renew by themselves through http-01 and tls-alpn-01 challenges, PROXY protocol headers preserve real client addresses, and SNI routing with round-robin balancing spreads names across backends. People get in with OpenID Connect, SAML, or passkeys; the same sign-in can mint short-lived SSH user certificates, and built-in certificate authorities manage client and backend credentials for you. Static sites can be served straight from disk, TPM-backed keys keep private material in hardware, and a built-in console shows what the proxy is doing.

zrok puts services that live behind NAT and firewalls onto the public internet with a shareable URL, without opening a single inbound port. The machine being shared dials out to an OpenZiti overlay network, so a web app on your desk, a Raspberry Pi at home, or a staging box inside a corporate network becomes reachable through your instance while its firewall stays closed. One command shares an HTTP service publicly; add a name from one of your namespaces and the URL stays stable even when you move the backend to a different machine, and an ephemeral name can be promoted to a reserved one when a quick demo turns into a keeper. Private shares skip the public internet entirely and reach only the users you grant, including raw TCP and UDP services, while web and drive backend modes publish static sites or whole folders, with OAuth, password auth, and an interstitial warning page available on public shares. The long-running agent keeps every share and access under one process, restarts the named ones after a reboot, and offers a localhost console for point-and-click sharing; the account-wide web console maps your environments, shares, and accesses as a navigable graph or a sortable table with live activity. Operators get invite-based accounts, InfluxDB-backed usage metrics, and configurable limits that warn or cut off accounts that exceed their quotas.

With over 43,000 GitHub stars and adoption by companies including Nasdaq, Samsung, and Expedia, Kong Gateway is the world's most deployed open-source API gateway, processing billions of API requests daily across hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud architectures. Built on the battle-tested NGINX engine with OpenResty's LuaJIT runtime, Kong delivers sub-millisecond proxy latency while supporting REST, gRPC, GraphQL, WebSocket, SOAP, and Kafka protocols. The plugin architecture includes authentication via JWT, Basic Auth, HMAC, key authentication, OAuth 2.0, and LDAP, alongside rate limiting with configurable windows per consumer, IP address, or API key. The AI Proxy plugin provides a universal LLM API that routes across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI, Databricks, Mistral, and Hugging Face through a single standardized interface, while MCP proxy capabilities convert REST APIs into MCP tools and provide traffic governance for AI agents. Kong supports declarative configuration via YAML for GitOps workflows, a RESTful Admin API for dynamic configuration, and decK CLI for version-controlled infrastructure-as-code management. Upstream health checking with active and passive probes enables automatic failover, and the ring balancer distributes traffic across upstream targets with consistent hashing, round-robin, or least-connections algorithms. The Kong Plugin Hub hosts over 100 community and official plugins covering logging, monitoring, transformation, security, and traffic control.

With 17,000 GitHub stars, 460+ contributors, and deployments across telecommunications, automotive, and financial services running on over 10,000 CPU cores at the largest known installations, Apache APISIX delivers a fully dynamic API gateway achieving 140,000 QPS on eight cores with sub-millisecond latency through NGINX's event-driven architecture and LuaJIT-compiled plugin execution. The 100+ open-source plugins cover authentication (JWT, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, Keycloak, LDAP), observability (Prometheus, Datadog, SkyWalking, OpenTelemetry), traffic management (rate limiting, circuit breaking, canary releases, traffic splitting), and security (CORS, IP restriction, CSRF protection) — all hot-reloadable without process restarts via etcd-based real-time configuration synchronization. Multi-protocol support handles HTTP, gRPC, MQTT, TCP, UDP, and WebSocket traffic for both north-south API access and east-west service mesh communication. AI gateway capabilities proxy requests to 20+ LLM providers with semantic caching, token-aware rate limiting, provider failover routing, and content moderation. Custom plugins extend the gateway in Lua, Go, Java, Python, or WebAssembly. Radixtree route matching handles 100,000+ routes without performance degradation. Functions as a Kubernetes ingress controller with native service discovery for Consul, Nacos, and Eureka. Deploy via Docker or Helm charts with horizontal scaling through etcd cluster coordination.

Doorman puts one controlled front door in front of every API you run, instead of teaching each service to reinvent keys, quotas, and abuse protection. It routes REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, gRPC-Web, and AI traffic through a single gateway while its control plane handles the surrounding work. Catalog APIs in a visual builder, configure protocols and endpoints, validate schemas, and manage semantic versions with deprecation and sunset dates as interfaces evolve. Control who may call what through users, roles, groups, and subscriptions, then attach credit tiers and quotas so heavy consumers stay inside the plan you sold them. Slow abusive clients with rate limits, throttling, and bandwidth caps, and keep flaky upstreams from cascading through retries and circuit breaking. Follow every request in searchable logs, review security controls and audit activity, and move configuration between environments with import and export. Start in a self-contained in-memory mode for a small deployment, then switch to shared MongoDB and Redis when several gateway instances need the same counters, revocations, and routing state.

To protect self-hosted web services behind a unified single sign-on portal without deploying complex enterprise identity suites, Tinyauth acts as an OpenID Certified authentication server and reverse proxy middleware. Homelab operators and infrastructure teams place it in front of internal dashboards, media servers, and administrative tools routed through Traefik, Caddy, Nginx, Nginx Proxy Manager, or LinuxServer SWAG. Users can sign in with local bcrypt-hashed credentials, scan QR codes to enroll time-based one-time password authenticators for two-factor verification, or authenticate through external OAuth providers like GitHub, Google, and Pocket ID. Organizations running centralized directories can bind Tinyauth directly to an LDAP server such as LLDAP or OpenLDAP and automatically synchronize group memberships for role-based authorization. Fine-grained access control rules configured via dynamic Docker container labels or environment variables let administrators whitelist or block specific usernames, OAuth email regex patterns, OIDC groups, client IP CIDR ranges, and URL path prefixes per subdomain. For applications that support native federated login, the built-in OpenID Connect 1.0 discovery endpoint, authorization code flow, and userinfo API allow seamless single sign-on with optional consent skipping for trusted clients.

Authelia is the leading open-source SSO and multi-factor authentication server for self-hosted infrastructure. The Go backend compiles to a single binary or Docker container image, serving a TypeScript React web portal that handles first-factor username and password login, second-factor authentication via TOTP, WebAuthn FIDO2 security keys, passwordless passkeys, and Duo mobile push notifications, and an OpenID Connect 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 identity provider with device code flow, JWE encrypted ID tokens, custom claims policies, and network-scoped authorization criteria. The forward authentication model integrates with Nginx auth_request, Traefik ForwardAuth, HAProxy, Caddy, Envoy, SWAG, and Skipper reverse proxies, injecting Remote-User, Remote-Groups, and Remote-Email headers into authorized requests. Granular access control rules match subject, groups, request URI, HTTP method, and network to enforce one-factor and two-factor policies per route. The user backend supports LDAP with attribute mapping, connection pooling, and bind mode, or YAML file-based authentication with Argon2id hashed passwords. Session state stores in Redis for high availability across clustered deployments, while persistent data lives in SQLite, MySQL and MariaDB, or PostgreSQL. Brute force protection locks accounts after configurable failed attempts, and email-based identity verification handles password resets and device registration. Dark, light, and OLED themes with i18n localization customize the portal appearance. On RepoCloud, deploy Authelia on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your authentication infrastructure, all under the Apache-2.0 license.
