### 4/5 — Could you please add support for Cloudflare Access and Pangolin?

*2026-07-04*

Thank you for listening to my review for your other app :D 

But could you please also add support for Pangolin‘s Basic Header Auth, so for example, if you have your own server behind Pangolin, you can still connect to it from the app. And also Cloudflare Zero Trust (access) support? So like with Pangolin that if you have your (for example Koito-) instance secured by Cloudflare, you can still use the app?

(I mean it like if you use one of them, not both at the same time, but both would be perfect :D)

That would make it useable for me :)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and kind review! I have released a new version. Could you please check if it’s working for you? You can also send me an mail. Finde a link in the settings. Thanks!
