Reverse Proxies Lack Per-Service TLS Toggle for Self-Hosted Apps
Self-hosters running internal services like Proxmox or Kasm need to skip TLS verification on a per-service basis when using self-signed certificates on a LAN. Current reverse proxy tooling requires global static configuration, forcing users to choose between a blanket insecure setting or manual static file edits for each service.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyHomelab Operators Unsure Whether Their Internet-Exposed Services Are Actually Secure
Self-hosters running Docker stacks with Cloudflare tunnels lack confidence in whether their setup is genuinely secure or just obscured, with no clear way to validate their security posture. The gap between "it works" and "it is secure" is wide for people running Nextcloud, Immich, Plex, and similar services exposed to the internet. Opinionated, stack-specific security guidance is absent from the self-hosting ecosystem.
Secure Remote Access to Self-Hosted Services Requires Tradeoffs Between VPN and mTLS
Self-hosters running data-sensitive services at home need secure internet access without exposing their home IP, but face constraints that limit both major options: VPN clients may be blocked by corporate IT or government censorship, while mTLS certificate management is complex and not universally supported by apps. No lightweight solution covers the full set of constraints across device types, networks, and geographies.
TLS-Terminating Proxies Like Cloudflare Expose Plaintext Traffic to Third Parties
Services relying on Cloudflare Tunnels or similar TLS-terminating proxies expose all plaintext traffic to the proxy operator, even though end users see a valid HTTPS connection. For privacy-sensitive or regulated services, this creates an unacceptable trust dependency on a third-party infrastructure provider. Teams must choose between DDoS/CDN protection and full end-to-end encryption control.
Homelab Reverse Proxy Choice: Nginx Proxy Manager vs Traefik vs Caddy
Self-hosters running Nginx Proxy Manager question whether the migration effort to Traefik or Caddy is worthwhile for a simple homelab setup. The discussion reflects uncertainty about the real tradeoffs between UI-friendly tools and more configuration-heavy but flexible alternatives. Not a clear pain point — primarily a decision support question.
Streaming Server Needs RTSPS Encrypted Output
Streaming server lacks RTSPS encrypted output for insecure local networks. Password-only RTSP is insufficient.
