Hi everyone

So, that’s a 2 in 1 post. First a more general question then looking for advice for a friend.

  • What is your preferred way to access HA from outside (and why)?

  • a friend of mine use duckdns and I often read (recently) that some people are having issue with it. Is wireguard a better way or another solution that is not too techy to deal with?

    Wondering something, Can you get wireguard client to only be used for HA app and leave everything else threw normal routing on your phone? (Not sure I have proper wording). So that wireguard will always be on but only being used for HA app

      On Android, you can specify which applications you want included or excluded. Or you can specify that you only route your home LAN IP ranges through wireguard. Both of those would accomplish your goal.
