Difference between DuckDns and Dataplicity

Differences between DuckDns and Dataplicity.
Wich one is safer?

DuckDNS is just a DNS service, there’s no security there. Security comes from how you expose HA (direct vs through a proxy, and if through a proxy what security, if any, you use), and your choice of passwords and MFA.

Dataplicity provides something very similar to the Nabu Casa cloud service, and also doesn’t look to have any security. Security there too will come from your choice of passwords and MFA.

Cloudflare Tunnels are similar to Dataplicity, but you have the option of wrapping authentication around access to the tunnel, on top of HA’s login. That would be “safer” as attackers would have to have access to your email (to get the one time pin) or to your chosen SSO integrated account.
