PulseWeaver

Self-hosted forward-auth sidecar that gates services by device IP, not login.

Servicefree

PulseWeaver is a self-hosted forward-auth sidecar for reverse proxies that blocks unknown IPs while giving known devices per-user access to only the services they're granted, without adding login systems to the apps themselves. It keeps a registry of known devices' current IP addresses and checks every incoming request against it. It's aimed at homelab operators sharing services with family or friends, and is explicitly an access gate, not an authentication system.
