A public Lighthouse service for Slack's nebula VPN

Hacker News

Slack's nebula VPN is a great networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security based on the Noise Protocol Framework. However, for many people it is difficult to set up their own VPN, as a Lighthouse server is always required. That is why I started the public Nebula VPN Lighthouse Servers project [2]. This project aims to provide public Lighthouse servers for everyone. It consists of a python based snap app [3] that acts as a web server and allows anyone to use the public servers as a lighthouse for their own VPN. Snap's confinement is used to secure the server and users of the service should make sure to lock the Lighthouse out of the network [4]. If any of you have the ability to run a public Nebula VPN Lighthouse server, I would appreciate it if you would add your server to the server list [5]. As a nebula VPN user, the servers in the list [6] are available to you as public lighthouses.
