Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I've looked through the service code, and I'm curious about the seeming dependency on tunnelmole.com/.net and how custom domains and subdomains are registered with DNS so that they are findable by third-party clients.
@frickingruvin Just add a CNAME entry in your DNS records with your subdomain pointing to the tunnelmole.com .
Let me know if that works. I guess HTTPs wouldn't validate cos of a name mismatch (it'll be the tunnelmole.net SSL cert).
It'd be interesting to know if it's possible with HTTP (just be careful not to transmit anything sensitive over insecure HTTP).
Brilliant. Thank you!
How does Tunnelmole differ from Tailscale?
@owain68 Tail scale sets up a full VPN, which is a bit more involved than Tunnelmole, which simply creates an outbound connection.
A VPN essentially takes over the entire Internet connection of your Raspberry Pi, "virtually" putting it inside another network.
Tunnelmole doesn't do this so your network stays the same.
Great write-up! For folks running self-hosted apps or collecting data from public sources on a Pi, Bright Data can be super helpful too. Their scraping tools + Web Unlocker handle CAPTCHAs and bot protection really well
no need to reinvent the wheel when scaling up.
Thanks for sharing, worth saving for future!
Thank you for the informational Tech content. It's really helpful and explains the working with step by step.
I have been looking for this for sometime now, many thanks 👍
Fascinating! Thank you for a well-written and thought-provoking post
