Usque – Open-Source Cloudflare Warp Masque Client
I was surprised to discover there isn't an open-source initiative for a Cloudflare Warp client that fully supports their MASQUE protocol. MASQUE has the potential to revolutionize traditional VPNs, even in self-hosted environments, but there’s been a gap in the ecosystem. I built a proof-of-concept client using the amazing quic-go library that not only integrates their (for some reason) non-rfc compliant MASQUE but also supports multiple modes of operation. This includes full support for any IP traffic and a proxy mode, making it hopefully flexible. I'd love to hear feedback from the…

In plain words
Usque is an open-source client for Cloudflare Warp that implements the MASQUE protocol, built using the quic-go library. It supports multiple modes of operation including full IP traffic handling and proxy mode, offering an alternative to traditional VPNs in self-hosted environments. Designed for developers and technical users, it fills a gap in the open-source ecosystem by providing flexible protocol support that extends beyond standard implementations.

Octelium – FOSS Alternative to Teleport, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Ngrok2025 · github.com · ▲358I have been working on Octelium for quite a few years now but it was open sourced only by late May 2025. Octelium, as described more in detail in the repo's README, is simply an open source, self-hosted, unified platform for zero trust resource access that is primarily meant to be a modern alternative to corporate VPNs and remote access tools. It can operate as a remote access/corporate VPN (i.e. alternative to Twingate, Tailscale, OpenVPN Access Server, etc...), a ZTNA/BeyondCorp platform (i.e. alterntive to Cloudflare Access, Teleport, Google BeyondCorp, etc...), and it can also…

An Almost Free, Open Source TURN Server2025 · github.com · ▲122Hi HN, I have been messing around with WebRTC for a few years now but when it comes to the TURN server I never quite got to my gold standard of free, self-hosted and open source. I decided to give it a go using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's free tier, meaning that my total spend got down to domain name hosting. I know plenty of people have been burnt by Oracle in the past, but I have had servers running on the free tier for 5 years now without so much as a hiccup. Regardless, the concepts will be the same using any cloud based server. This is the first time I've written up an end-to-end…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
