I’m running my own HA locally, in my house, but I would like to be able to access it also when I’m not home. So I’ve put it on my Zerotier One VPN, which works fine. Except for two things:
-
HA no longer knows when I’m home - it thinks I’m always home;
-
Other people in my household would also like to have remote access, but it’s unrealistic to have them install and use the VPN.
So - can I just open it up, and rely on long, complex passeords? Or is that a complete no-go?
I just use a Cloudflare tunnel using the Cloudflared plugin and a custom domain name. So no need to open ports. I use long passwords for the users. Not sure how unsafe it is but in HA you get a notification when a failed login happened.
I’m doing that + 2FA
