nginx-proxy
A self-hosted Networking & VPN app you can run on your own server.
With nginx-proxy, you get a self-hosted networking application that lives on your own server, under your rules. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 19.9K stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 26, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Networking changes can lock you out of your own server, so keep a fallback access path while you configure. Read the project's reverse-proxy and certificate notes carefully, open only the ports required, and test from outside your home network before relying on it.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, nginx-proxy is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
