The EASIEST VPN for Home Assistant - Tailscale Install
HTML-код
- 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!

How rediculously easy is this?! 🤯
Hi!
Hello!!
Piece of cake but what about security? Is it safer than duckdns, port fowarding and wireguard?
Hi and thanks. Please do tutorials like this no matter how easy the topic is. There are newbies out there too :)
Thanks friend, I will!
I was using Tailscale already before watching this but HA was completely new to me. This works brilliantly. Watching my security cameras live half way around the world was a treat.
After seeing all the videos on this channel I can say that this is the best on YT
Haha thanks man! Glad the videos are useful!
Oh wow, this is essentially running wireguard without having to host remote server elsewhere. Nice sharing man
Exactly! Thanks buddy!
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.
So simple, found this video when I was looking at how to add the Subnet Routes, one thing that was missing is the matter of adding the subnet route IP range, but I knew they part, I didn't know about logging into the website and enabling it, so thanks very much for showing this.
This is very serious man😳.. it can’t be this simple … FREE!!!! Your a god send mate … keep up the good work
Haha thanks man, enjoy!
Hi Lewis, appreciate your video tutorials. I am looking forward to every TechTutorialTuesday! Good job! Hopefully you find many topics for future tutorials.
Thanks my friend!
My god that was easy and super helpful! I was having trouble for months because my isp decided to move me to cg nat!
You are legend mate, my duckdns setup suddenly stopped working as my ISP started double NAT. I have been looking for alternative solution and came up with your video. Very detailed description on how to setup Tailscale. Love it. Thanks a ton, and keep up the good work.
You made my day! Many thanks for helping dummies like me with such great and super useful videos.
This is really helpful. Tailscale seems to have changed significantly in a year. Any chance of a brief update? Thanks!
I saw when Frenck added this addon to the store. But I didn’t try it and I wasn’t aware how easy it is. Thanks a lot for the video 🙏🏻 I’ll have one cg-nat usecase for it 😊
Nice Pavol, I'm sure it should work great!
Hi, thx for the vid, little bit changed in the 2+ years but was easy enough to work out with the guidance. Much appreciated
Awesome, good share. I had given up on wireguard due to issues working with my best WiFi. I used that as an excuse to go all in on unifi gear, but their built in VPN is pretty clunky and slow. I'll have to give this setup a go, thanks for the video
Yeah Unifi VPN options are incredibly lacking. Good luck!
Thanks for making this video. Was hoping you would after my discord question about it. Seems like a simple option with the ability to run through adguard. Should have just tried it on my own, but thanks for clarifying!
Thanks for the awesome tip! One issue I ran into was that I couldn't get the Tailscale addon to authenticate in HA using Firefox. Tried it in Chrome and it worked fine.
Why does Firefox have so many issues?
Glad you got it working!
This is brilliant!!!!! Thank you.
Do you have a Video for Tailscale and Alexa for HA?
Thank you for the video! I have heard alot of TailScale but never searched it up. Didnt know it was this easy lol. I have done many vpn configurations but this is next level of making it simple!
Super easy right?!
Greetings from Croatia.
Thanks for some past videos that helped me install Freenas. I think i will try to install the VPN as well. Greetings once again
Hello and thanks for watching!
With Tailscale Funnel you won't have to connect to your VPN everytime you are away from your home. Also Tailscale provides a way to get an HTTPS url without setting it up from Home Assistant configuration.
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.
Nice one glad you found it useful!
Wicked another box ticked, one thing you missed was telling us to open port 24 on the router, but i figured that out pretty fast. Brilliant video as always
Thanks! Why do you need to open port 24?
in the tailscale setting it was giving my a warning that it couldnt access HA due to no open ports
wasnt till i opened port 24 on HA then the settings on tailscape updated saying its now connected
That doesn't sound correct to me, there shouldn't be a need to open anything. Are you using HA OS?
@@EverythingSmartHome yes running on a PI4 google wifi router
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Will buy you a coffe for this. You earned it !
Thanks buddy, really appreciate it!
Privacy, etc concerns? If it's free, how does tailscale make money?
I must be the only person struggling to get this to connect????? I get 90% of the way through the tutorial but when I move on to the tailscale admin console there is no Subnet options for me. Please advise
Same here. Also app doesn't work on iphone
@@muscaiu did you remember to add port 8123 to the ip address?
Unable to relay traffic
This machine has IP forwarding disabled and cannot relay traffic. Please enable IP forwarding on this machine to use relay features like subnets or exit nodes.
Hey buddy, this is perfect and works out of the box. Thanks!!!
would you make a video how to return Supervisor to the side of dashboard?
How do I configure my phone when I am inside my network with respect to IP? Does this mean I just leave Tailscale running all the time and use that ip address or can I set it up to use the local ip of my HA instance when inside my network (sorry networking noob)?
Could you do a video on how to setup Caddy2 with Home Assistant? I tried to give it a go myself but nearly threw my computer out the window :)
Aaah, thanks. I was waiting for this. Thanks again
Your welcome!
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.
Brilliant! Installed on several machines now. One question. When I use the tailscale IP remotely to connect to my homeassistant it will only connect if I add the port ':8123' after the IP. Is this normal? Do I need to modify a setting? Thanks
Thanks for the video! I missed the subnet and exit nodes configs. Thanks!
Thanks for commenting!
Hi! very helpful! i was not aware of this solution.
Fantastic! I had no idea about this and although I have wireguard setup, I will check it out :)
Let me know how it goes!
Any advantage of Tailscale over Zero Tier? Thanks for your videos!
Thanks so much. This is what I was looking for ;)
I have 2 GLi Net AX1800 travel routers (with Tailscale pre-installed) and was wondering how to port forward one to the other, through Tailscale. Any ideas?
You are the man! Awesome
Thanks for your video, very useful
What would we use for the external URL in HA network settings?
thank you for the video... never knew this existed... will try this out
So, do i
Thanks for watching!
Hi. Video very helpful, thanks
I use ZeroTier. Should I switch to Tailscale?
Thank you for all your tutorials!
No reason to if you have no issue with Tailscale and it works! Your welcome, thanks for the comment!
enabling tailscale allows me to access HA remotely, but my the speed is pretty slow, almost unusable for other apps in malaysia
Hi! I love your home assistant lessons and would love to hear some advice or tips from you. I'm running home assistant core in docker container on ec2 instance and now trying to find a way to connect ec2 instance to my local network so home assistant can find my iot devices. Do you have any idea how this can be done? Thanks in advance!
What if the device you want to connect hasn’t got the option to install the tailscale app? How do you do that?
Thank you for share you knowledge. There is a way to use google home with vpn ? I am not be able to change port foward, my provedor is bad :(
Very good explanation from tailscale, but all my connection to HA in not save because it is a http not a https connection.
Great vid! Thanks a alot! You sir have a new subscriber.
Thanks for the update my friend, seem to be a very simple solution
It's rediculously easy right!
Thank you for another great video, easy peasy lemon squeezy
Haha excellent, glad it was useful!
Seems to be really easy. I'm going to try it. Thanks.
Nice 🙌
Great tut like always!
This sounds very much like ZeroTier--it'd be interesting to see a comparison between the two for HA purposes.
@EverythingSmartHome Do I have to open the Tailscale app on my smartphone every time I want to access Homeassistant on the go?
Does remote access also work with the HASSIO app on the smartphone and if so what do you have to set there?
Very stunning as usual ❤️
Thanks you so much, IPS block all port except 8080 ( they are hosting an website).. now i can access from internet...
super cool it works 100 percent THANKS😇😇😇😇
Thanks.
Incredible easy setup. But it's not working - connection lost in ~1 min after Tailscale VPN enabled on iPhone. Nice video though.
Superb. I had wireguard from your previous video but seems temperamental. When I eventually need it it doesn't seem to work. Might be my ISP router as thats a pain to log in to to even get to the settings.
Hello
thank you for the video
question is there away it make auto connect to Tailscale VPN when i open home assistant app ?
Hi there
Thanks for the great video?
But how can I have it on my WD my cloud ex2 ultra NAS?
Thank you 🌹❤️
Hi,
Very nice short and sweet explanation.
Up and running in a flash.
I usually access HA externally via DuckDNS. I would assume that this now redundant?
Is it OK to remove it?
What should I do with the 'External address' in HA?
Thanks.
Gran video amigo !!!
Thank you Eduardo!
Thanks for the tutorial! But I can't seem to make Tailscale use my adguard add-on. What IP should I put in the tailscale dns section? Should I point it to my homeassistant ip?
I can connect to my HA machine remotely using my iPhone and an SSH app, but I cannot navigate to the user interface on my phone's browser. What am I doing wrong?
Always love your videos. Thanks for sharing - keep up the good work. I'm sure for most people this. is as easy as your video shows. But I got an error after installing the add-on - I've raised an issue. I note there was someone else with the same issue.
Thanks Gary, appreciate it! Hope the issue gets resolved!
How secure is a free VPN? What kind of data do they collect?
As far as I understand it, traffic isn't actually being routed through them so there is no data to collect in that sense. They say that the private keys never leave your devices and so they can never see your traffic.
Any way to use this with CGNAT to use Google Home or Alexa? If not this what is your go-to method for that apart from Nabu Casa?
I wonder if I could use a pfsense remote user VPN instead. I'm gonna get a pfsense box soon. Why not use that?
Would this work for port forwarding on an Ethereum Node to get outside CGNAT? I thought the Node needs peer connections which aren't available unless you have a VPN that is outside your ISP.
My home assistant app before I did this worked on my home wifi but after doing this trying to get remote access I can't connect either way.
Everything seemed to go ok but I must be missing something
Got it....Confusion on my end on which IP address should have been in there...All good now
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!
If I’m running home assistant in a stack created by dockstarter… do I need to anything different? Run duckdns docker image?
Should I still use ssl/https? and if I how can I configure homeassistant and generate the certificates?
Thanks in advance
Great video. Can i use duckdns method and this one at the same time? i mean, duckdns sometimes doesnt respond for a few minutes, but i use google integration, so i need it. but a i need a second method for using i.e: my othe cellphone.
Good stuff, man.
i like here. but just noticed you put a link for written article we assume there will be some written stuff for this particular video as well. but
there is not. please
If you use the ios HA companion app do you have to do things in the settings like he describes at the end of this video?
this method I try , it works easy, but don't work with Alexa integration
Hi, thank You very much. I run Home assistant on my Synology NAS, co I cannot connect to HA when I am out of wifi. I followed Your guide, but I do something wrong... I see Tailscale connected to homeassistant, but how the hell shall I run it ? (Android). No succes - must wash my hands probably... EDIT: washing hands helped :)
Really great video thank you!! Do you confirm with this we can not use google assistant? To use google assistant we always need port forwarding or nabu casa?
That's correct yes
Does phone sensors updat via this?
like it.. nice, quick and easy.. so much so noone should have an excuse for not setting this up..
You really have no excuse now...😅
@@EverythingSmartHome correct.. YOU don't have any excuse ! lol :-D
So- a little confused. Does this get you access to your entire network or just your home assistant instance? Either is cool. I guess I could Google it myself 😂
Very useful video!
Thanks Alberto!
how do you enable "Subnet router" on home assistant while running tailscale?
Why tailscale website is not working now ?
When i try to open the webuser interface i get a 502 bad gateway failure. Do you know what to do here
Hi. Do you know og Tailscale can make several HA on raspberry talk to eachother? Works nice phone to rasp, PC to rasp bur not rasperri to rasperri
is this a full fledge vpn or does this only allow you to access home assistant? also is this encrypted like wireguard?
Very nice video!
Thanks!
Great video, thanks
Thanks!
Great video thanks, The only part I can't make to work is the Subnet. I don't get that option when selecting Review route settings
i couldn't get mine to show up either.
Hmm, which Home Assistsnt install method are you guys using? What hardware?
@@EverythingSmartHome i'm running mine on a NUC with debian10
Home Assistant Supervised
That could be it, Debian 11 is the supported OS now. It's probably not the version is the OS but some other misconfiguration somewhere within the OS
