Use of clients without Gebril

[TheDietrich]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the Clients feature.

I am running Pangolin locally in my home network without Gerbil/Newt, since the Pangolin instance itself forwards traffic to the internal resources. The instance is still reachable via a static public IPv4 address.

However, I realized that without a remote site (network / Newt) it is not possible to create any Private Resources.

Is there a supported way to use the Clients feature without Gerbil/Newt, or is Gerbil/Newt mandatory by design?

If Gerbil/Newt is required:
Is it safe to add Gerbil/Newt afterwards by extending the existing Docker Compose setup, or is a clean reinstallation recommended?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Best regards
Jonas

Unfortunately gerbil and newt are required for the tunneling to work. Gerbil is necessary because it acts as the "STUN" server and relay server for the hole punching.
