  • Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
  • In this video we are taking a look at one of the easiest ways to get remote access to your Home Assistant, so that you can access no matter where in the world you are! The best part about Tailscale with Home Assistant is that it doesn't require any port forwarding (meaning it can be used with a CGNat), networking knowledge or firewall rules to be configured, Tailscale just works and can be up and running in just a matter of minutes!

    Installation was really pretty easy. I was trying to use WireGuard before, but was not able to setup port forwarding correctly due to network architecture used by my ISP.
    Tailscale just works. Thanks.

  • @user-nh3gu1ge3d
    @user-nh3gu1ge3d 2 года назад +1

    Awesome. Thanks for doing that video. Yeah, it's super easy to set up, but like you said, the problem is we wouldn't even know the option exists without it. Most of us don't comb through the add on store, esp. us newcomers. I got mine up and running in 5 minutes. One curious thing I noted, though, the "route settings > subnet routes > connect machines you can't install Tailscale on." option MUST be checked in order for me to connect to my pi from my iphone.
    Kinda weird to me because Tailscale IS installed on my pi, so the way it's worded, it seems like you wouldn't need it to connect to the pi but to other NON tailscale devices. But I tried it a couple times and the app won't load unless that box is ticked. Weird. I would think it would work for the pi but not for other devices but nope. Not a big deal but I figured if something does happen and the box is compromised somehow, it would be safer to have that option not checked. But it's not a big deal. It works great. Thanks.

    i hate wireguard with a firey passion. Never could get it to work! I tried following 5 different guides, installed on HA, Unraid (plugin), unraid docker container.. No joy at all. I wish they still had the openvpn container. Atleast that worked!! I would go back to that in a heartbeat. I am going to try this one. When I replace my router i'm going to make sure i'm not locked into venders for ddns.

  • @SuperBrit33

    Hi, I am a super newby of home assistant, but in the last weeks I have followed almost all your videos! Great job! Though, I have a question, since this super VPN #Tailscale works without port forwarding, does it means that it can be used with almost any WiFi setup with all the commodities? would it work also, with those mesh systems like Tp-link Deco (from the app it seems pretty blocked in terms of advanced settings), that are very user-friendly and relatively cheap? In other terms, would it means that with this trick you can enjoy almost all the pleasures of home-assistant, at home and away, without having to be super cool with a unify type of system which is complex, but gives you all the freedom ?? As far as I have understood the choice behind a router must be taken very cautiously especially for the forwarding matter.. a reply would be super appreciated!!! thank you in advance!
