Welcome to HomeGate

We’re excited to introduce HomeGate, a new way to expose your self-hosted services to the internet without the usual infrastructure headaches.

The Problem

Self-hosting services like Jellyfin, Immich, Ollama, and Nextcloud is great, but exposing them to the internet is a pain:

• You need a static IP or dynamic DNS
• Your ISP might have CGNAT, making port forwarding impossible
• Your home IP is visible to anyone who visits your domain
• Setting up reverse proxies, SSL certificates, and DDoS protection requires real DevOps skills

Our Solution

HomeGate is a Proxy-as-a-Service. We sit between the internet and your home server:

• Your IP stays hidden. Traffic flows through our proxy infrastructure.
• Works behind CGNAT. No port forwarding, no static IP required.
• Auto SSL. Let’s Encrypt certificates provisioned and renewed automatically.
• DDoS protection. CrowdSec-powered security blocks malicious traffic.
• Custom domains. Bring your own or use a free *.homegate.sh subdomain.

How It Works

1. Sign up and add your service (e.g., Jellyfin on port 8096)
2. Connect your home server via Tailscale (a secure tunnel, no ports to open)
3. Your service is live at your-id.homegate.sh with HTTPS

That’s it. No nginx config, no certbot, no firewall rules.

What’s Next

We’re in beta and actively building. Here’s what’s coming:

1. Advanced access rules, including geo-blocking and rate limiting for Dedicated plans
2. Bandwidth analytics and monitoring dashboard for Dedicated plans
3. Custom plan tier where you pick your proxy specs (CPU, RAM, bandwidth)
4. US server locations for North American users
