Duckdns external access

Hi there. New to HA. I’ve followed the instructions here to set up duckdns access.

Now I get the following when trying to log in from inside my network

Could not connect to the server.

Error Code:
NSURLErrorDomain -1004

Anyone got any ideas what that means and how to fix it?

That guide was made 2 years ago. I don’t think anything has changed but you might want to try reading the actual documentation to make sure.

# Home Assistant Add-on: DuckDNS

## Installation

Follow these steps to get the add-on installed on your system:

1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**.
2. Find the "DuckDNS" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.

## How to use

1. Visit [DuckDNS.org](https://www.duckdns.org/) and create an account by logging in through any of the available account services (Google, Github, Twitter, Persona, Reddit).
2. In the `Domains` section, type the name of the subdomain you wish to register and click `add domain`.
3. If registration was a success, the subdomain is listed in the `Domains` section along with `current ip` being the public IP address of the device you are currently using to access `duckdns.org`. The IP address will be updated by the DuckDNS add-on.
4. In the DuckDNS add-on configuration, perform the following:
    - Copy the DuckDNS token (listed at the top of the page where account details are displayed) from `duckdns.org` and paste into the `token` option.
    - Update the `domains` option with the full domain name you registered. E.g., `my-domain.duckdns.org`.
