Go TLS

Open-source Go projects categorized as TLS

Transport Layer Security (TLS), the successor of the now-deprecated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network.

Top 23 Go TLS Projects

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

    Project mention: New FrankenPHP feature: package your PHP apps as standalone, self-executable binaries | /r/PHP | 2023-12-08

    Fun fact, the website is "dynamically static", it's just markdown files being processed and rendered by Caddy itself using https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/templates. It's also how the https://caddyserver.com/ is built as well. Also includes syntax highlighting for Caddyfile config, using a library called Chroma; I wrote the Caddyfile lexer myself a while back! I think it's pretty neat that Caddy can syntax highlight its own code 😁

  • mkcert

    A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.

    Project mention: SSL Certificates for Home Network | /r/homelab | 2023-12-07
  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • Xray-core

    Xray, Penetrates Everything. Also the best v2ray-core, with XTLS support. Fully compatible configuration.

    Project mention: Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-10

    I have been researching VPN protocols that work in China and found that Xray [0] is the most recommended route to escape the GFW. An ideal VPN setup is one where packets appear as normal https traffic. Some VPN setups take it a step further and proxy the traffic through Cloudflare. Setting all this up is nowhere as easy as Wireguard. Coincidentally, I came across this project on Github earlier today which is an obfuscation proxy for Wireguard [1], but I haven't found any information about how well it works.

    Project mention: HTTP client using multiple proxies | /r/golang | 2023-02-18

    Are you looking to do proxy chaining? If so, something like https://github.com/snail007/goproxy may help. It's likely overkill for your situation, but it supports chaining.

  • gost

    Project mention: Teach us something Sundays | /r/ExperiencedFounders | 2023-05-21

    With a combination of Gost and cloudflare tunnel you can access literally anything on the local LAN network.

  • lego

    Let's Encrypt/ACME client and library written in Go

    Project mention: Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-16

    This ACME client looks promising, but I haven’t tried it yet: https://github.com/go-acme/lego

  • certificates

    🛡️ A private certificate authority (X.509 & SSH) & ACME server for secure automated certificate management, so you can use TLS everywhere & SSO for SSH.

    Project mention: Running one’s own root Certificate Authority in 2023 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-16
  • Ponzu

    Headless CMS with automatic JSON API. Featuring auto-HTTPS from Let's Encrypt, HTTP/2 Server Push, and flexible server framework written in Go.

  • boulder

    An ACME-based certificate authority, written in Go.

    Project mention: Trying to do something a bit crazy | /r/homelab | 2023-06-04

    There's no reason you couldn't run your own ACME server (the Let's Encrypt folk publish an open source one, boulder, but there's plenty of others). Then you can just use certbot in your VMs to manage certificates, configured to point to your CA server instead of the Let's Encrypt one.

  • certmagic

    Project mention: Nginx as DNS Load Balancer for Bind9 | /r/nginx | 2023-02-28

    take a look at gobetween for a L4 load balancer, but I don't know if you can have what you are looking for :/
