PteroTunnel

An Nginx manager built using Next.js 13 & Tailwind CSS that lets you easily reverse proxy your Pterodactyl Panel servers using a normal proxy or a secure one

Getting Started

This project is in its early stages and shouldn't be used in production! This should be installed on every node that you would like to reverse proxy so the traffic is as secure as it can be. Please install and run this as a root user to prevent issues.

  return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
  listen 443 ssl http2;
  server_name %domain%;

  ssl_certificate /var/www/pterotunnel/ssl/tunnel/proxy.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key /var/www/pterotunnel/ssl/tunnel/proxy.key;

  location / {
