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:

  1. HA no longer knows when I’m home - it thinks I’m always home;

  2. 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?

    A good, simple solution is Cloudflare.

    Why? Because you can lock it down to specific people, for example only to those who have these 4 email addresses.

    They need to enter the code received via email ever month or so. Everyone else, no code no access.
