1. Caddy

   1 461 73,224 9.5 Go

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

   

   Project mention: I got tired of setting up SSL for every side project, so I made a 60-second Docker deploy kit | dev.to | 2026-05-19

   The secret is Caddy. Unlike Nginx, Caddy handles SSL automatically — it requests certificates from Let's Encrypt and renews them without any configuration. The entire reverse proxy config is 3 lines:

3. mkcert

   2 149 58,813 1.9 Go

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

   

   Project mention: mkdev: trusted HTTPS for localhost, mapped by name | dev.to | 2026-05-24

   On install it generates an ECDSA P-256 root CA at ~/.mkdev/ca/ (private key written 0o400, owner-read only) and installs it into the OS-native trust store. The trust-store integration — Keychain via security on macOS, the CA-bundle dirs plus update-ca-* on Linux, the ROOT store via crypt32.dll on Windows — is adapted from mkcert (BSD-3, credited in LICENSE-MKCERT). That layer is the genuinely OS-specific part and reusing it saved a lot of pain.

7. gost

   6 3 6,913 8.3 Go

8. certmagic

   7 16 5,565 6.7 Go

   Automatic HTTPS for any Go program: fully-managed TLS certificate issuance and renewal

   

   Project mention: LetsEncrypt – Expiration Notification Service Has Ended | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-30

   It's unfortunate to see this go away, but understandable given the costs involved. If you use a web server like Caddy, you can automate certificate renewal (https://caddyserver.com/docs/automatic-https). If notifications are important, they also provide an event subscription system (https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic#events) so you can subscribe to cert-related events, run custom code, trigger event handlers, etc.

9. sish

   8 36 4,645 5.7 Go

13. CycleTLS

    12 4 1,460 5.7 Go

    Spoof TLS/JA3 fingerprints in GO and Javascript

    

    Project mention: Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-31

    Cloudflare is known to use fingerprinting to detect scrapers For example, they use JA3 fingerprints and match them against the UA to block stuff like cURL while allowing OkHttp (Android clients) - but this can be easily be spoofed with packages such as CycleTLS [1].

    I don't want to defend them, because they gate away a good chunk of the internet with their "bot protection", but unless you do PoW (which is also ecologically a nightmare), probably fingerprinting is the way to go - completely destroying the privacy of everyone involved.

    Cromite, a privacy conscious fork of Chromium for Android, has constantly issues with CloudFlare Turnstile [2] because they (Cloudflare) try to fingerprint it in multiple ways in order to pass the challenge. The only way to get it to work would be to join the CloudFlare Browser Developer program - which requires signing an NDA. Rightfully so, the project maintainer didn't want to do it.

    I understand both sides, but at least CloudFlare could be flexible enough to fall back to PoW instead of just blocking people from sending forms or accessing websites...
