## What it is
Wiredoor is a self-hosted ingress-as-a-service platform that exposes services running in private or local networks to the internet via reverse VPN tunnels powered by WireGuard and an NGINX reverse proxy. It includes a web UI, CLI client, automatic SSL via Let's Encrypt, OAuth2 authentication, and Docker/Kubernetes gateway integrations.

## Use cases
- expose a local web app to the internet without opening firewall ports
- share an internal dashboard like Grafana or a k8s dashboard with external users
- self-hosted alternative to ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnel
- expose services from a private Kubernetes cluster via a Helm gateway
- tunnel HTTP or TCP services from Docker containers or IoT devices
- add OAuth2 login and SSL to internally hosted apps

## When to choose
- you want full control and self-hosting of your ingress without cloud vendor lock-in
- you need low-latency WireGuard tunnels instead of HTTP-based tunnels
- you expose services from air-gapped, on-prem, or hybrid environments
- you want automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, OAuth2 protection, and a management UI in one platform

## When to avoid
- you only need a quick throwaway tunnel and prefer a zero-setup hosted service
- you cannot run a publicly reachable server with ports 80/443 and UDP 51820 open
- you need a managed solution with no infrastructure to maintain
