- Your phone connects to Funnel servers using TLS encryption. The world runs on TLS. If TLS was compromised, the entire world would go up in flames, so you don’t have to worry about it.
- Funnel servers connect to your Home Assistant instance using Wireguard. The world also runs on Wireguard (to a lesser degree), so same as above, you don’t have to worry about it.
Thanks @parhelion for this info. and also @123 for your insights.
Just so you know @123, the original thread has 8 likes and this one 4 and growing, so there def. exists an audience for the funnel - probably because this doesn’t require you to install the Tailscale app on every device you want to remote access HA from. I’d say it’s personal preference at the end of the day, whether someone wants to use the funnel or no - this thread is merely a guide for those who do. Prior to this post, there was 0 documentation on the HA+funnel setup. OP doesn’t seem to be insinuating in any way that this is better than the conventional tailnet setup or is more secure.
