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?

Nowadays there are lots of people without a routable IP V4 address. As providers don’t have enough addressspace for all their customers they use NAT.
Yeah I know, i have turned down 2 potential ISPs already, because they use cgnat. Too bad, because they are cheaper. Just wish ipv6 would really catch on soon.
