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?

    I’ve currently switched to cloudflare DNS, and it looks like it’s doing the job better than duck for me. There’s an integration for it, though I don’t know how good that works, I initially set it up manually

      When you say it is doing a better job, can you explain how ?

        I use the Google assistant integration, and it works right now. With duck, I think it was maybe 50/50 on it that a voice command worked. Some days it was nearly not at all. So far with cloudflare, I’ve had no “I’m sorry, but ___ is not available right now”
