If anyone is curious about how Wiredoor works internally, it uses WireGuard for encrypted tunneling and NGINX for proxying HTTP/TCP services dynamically. Happy to answer any questions!

Why did you choose nginx versus another server (such as Caddy, Traefik, etc.)?

I choose NGinx mainly because it's the server I'm most familiar with. GIven Wiredoor is an open-source project focused on security and reliability, I wanted to build on a stack that I understood deeply from the start.

NGinx also offers very flexibility handling of HTTP, TCP (via stream module) and SSL/TLS termination.

One of my main goals with Wiredoor is to make exposing private services as simple and user-friendly as possible, without compromissing security.

Building on NGinx allowed me to offer a solid foundation that balances flexibility, performance, and simplicity for self-hosters and developers.

Thanks for the question!
