\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f TLSBridge \u2013 Secure Minecraft Connections Over TLS<\/p>\n
TLSBridge is a lightweight Paper plugin designed for Minecraft servers hosted behind CGNAT or without public IP access. It enables encrypted TLS connections to your server, allowing players to connect seamlessly using secure tunneling (via Tailscale Funnel or similar) on port 443.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd27 Features<\/p>\n
\u2705 TLS Support for Minecraft: Accepts inbound connections over TLS (HTTPS-style), translating them into standard Minecraft connections.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf10 Use with Tailscale Funnel: Perfectly integrates with Tailscale’s funnel to expose your server on 443, even behind CGNAT.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f No Port Forwarding Needed: Avoid router configuration and host your server securely using a domain like your-server.tailnet.ts.net.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd12 Built-in Certificate Generation: Automatically generates a self-signed TLS certificate for secure tunneling.<\/p>\n
\u2699\ufe0f Plug and Play: Just drop the plugin in and run your Paper server. Simple config, no bloat.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udde0 How It Works<\/p>\n
When the plugin is enabled:<\/p>\n
It launches a TLS listener on port 10000<\/p>\n
Decrypts incoming TLS connections (from a service like Tailscale Funnel)<\/p>\n
Forwards them into the Minecraft server on port 25565<\/p>\n
With Tailscale set to forward external :443 traffic to localhost:10000, TLSBridge acts as a secure gateway into your Minecraft world.<\/p>\n
