I’ve been trying for yonks (>two full days, plus crashing HA along the way) to get duckdns to work on my home assistant, so that I can remote access it from my telephone. Without success. There are pages and pages of people trying to get it to work, with multiple suggestions, mostly without success. I then came across Tailscale, it took me all of ten minutes to set it up, and WORKING. Whow, so hope this helps anybody trying to get remote access to their home assistant. This is not a publicity for Tailscale or Duckdns, just I’m so pleased to get it finally working.
Fair, but I guess we could agree that a lot of people on this community are not exactly matching your “most people” bin. Having alternatives is always a good idea. And taken that some people run HA on pretty exotic hardware, there is a chance that tailscale doesn’t work with it (albeit I agree they do a pretty good job in supporting as much platforms and distros as possible). Talking about alternatives… There is netbird as well ;)
