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?! 🤯
Do you have a Video for Tailscale and Alexa for HA?
My god that was easy and super helpful! I was having trouble for months because my isp decided to move me to cg nat!
Thanks so much. This is what I was looking for 😉
this method I try , it works easy, but don't work with Alexa integration
If they want people to sub to nabu casa, then it should be $1/mo. I'm not paying $65/yr for remote access LMFAO.
This is really helpful. Tailscale seems to have changed significantly in a year. Any chance of a brief update? Thanks!
Thanks.
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?
What happens if tailscale infra is not available?
Great tut like always!
This sounds very much like ZeroTier–it'd be interesting to see a comparison between the two for HA purposes.
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.
Hi there
Thanks for the great video?
But how can I have it on my WD my cloud ex2 ultra NAS?
Thank you 🌹❤️
Very stunning as usual ❤️
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?
any known way to get this working in a HA installed on docker ?
Hello
thank you for the video
question is there away it make auto connect to Tailscale VPN when i open home assistant app ?
2:17 Why?!
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?
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.
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.
