Hi everyone

So, that’s a 2 in 1 post. First a more general question then looking for advice for a friend.

  • What is your preferred way to access HA from outside (and why)?

  • a friend of mine use duckdns and I often read (recently) that some people are having issue with it. Is wireguard a better way or another solution that is not too techy to deal with?

    Wireguard. Wireguard is fairly easy to configure and keeping your setup behind the firewall is much less headache in the long run.

    First rule of hosting publicly available services is “Don’t. Unless you absolutely have to.” Second rule is: “If you have to, do it very carefully.”

      Wondering something, Can you get wireguard client to only be used for HA app and leave everything else threw normal routing on your phone? (Not sure I have proper wording). So that wireguard will always be on but only being used for HA app
