The connection between your Pangolin service (hosted outside your network) and your LAN is through a VPN. Essentially you’re creating a proxy that you can point your domain address at which isn’t your house’s IP address. Plus then everything inside your network is still secure behind your VPN.
So you connect to Pangolin, and Pangolin routes the traffic to your network.
Note: if the above isn’t working, you may need to first set your shell to accept emacs commands:
set -o emacs
I think it’s more for design language, you’re subconsciously drawn to the green vehicles because they’re different, and subconsciously when you’re looking at the traffic, you’re reminded what it’s like being in the traffic yourself.
So you imagine yourself as the green car.
1st scenario: traffic is really bad. 2nd scenario: they’ve added more lanes, but you, the green car, are still stuck. 3rd scenario: public transportation has alleviated the traffic and it’s better for all.
Notice in the 3rd scenario, all the transportation is green. I think it’s to make you think, “I can ride my bike to work” or “I can take the bus” or “I can still drive my car if where I live requires me to” depending on your own situation. It’s to show all options can be viable, if you support public transportation.
That’s how I see it at least.
Here’s a 404media article discussing it:

As per the DMCA listed in the reference:
MNAO analyzed some of the code and determined that the code provides functionality same as what is currently in Apple App Store and Google Play App Store.
Here’s a fork that’s still up and explains how the DMCA request was made based off of functionality and not proprietary code.
Yes, correct. You can always locally host it as there are other benefits like unifying user credentials for all your hosted services. But its primary design is to be hosted externally.
currently I host everything locally, but I don’t like the fact that anyone visiting my domain can easily find my address.
I’m in the process of determining on if I set up Pangolin myself or not. Another huge benefit is higher availability. (ex. If my internet goes down at home, I won’t know until I try to connect, but if I have an external service and it’s monitoring that connection, it can inform me when it loses connection)
Price is certainly something to consider when weighing its value for your setup
