Awesome !! I will do this right away!!! thanks for sharing...

[AbyssalSoda]

This was so easy, if only it actually worked

[CMfly]

Great video this is exactly what I needed to get unstuck! Could you also have used cloudflared tunnels instead of opening the port in your firewall? Then you could throw access rules in front of it for added security.

[MikeDeVincentis]

Why use the challenge dns with Cloudflare instead of the normal letsencrypt option for SSL? Is that because you're proxying the dns on Cloudflare?

[vivahernando]

Is there a way to secure an exposed streamed tcp port?

Thanks for tutorial, in case if we also use pihole as DNS we can add a or cname record right into pihole dns settings right and use that one?

[KrispKiwi]

How does this work if you're using your domain for home assistant public access via the cloudflared add on? Would I need a second domain?

[sutthipongapaisuwan]

what about other network like other device that same subnet with host ? how to forward to that.

[salvadorfajardo]

so, you also need a PUBLIC STATIC ip? it cost money to have one. Can we use noip?
