I set up an external URL for my HA instance via Duck DNS & port forwarding on my router. Is this gonna impact functionality in any way?

I just noticed I couldn’t access HA over the internal URL anymore in the companion app and “Add Integration” buttons also didn’t work.

I fixed these issues by entering the Duck DNS external URL where the internal URL is supposed to be in the companion app and entering the new https internal URL in the my.home-assistant.io page.

Despite those problems being solved, I became a little worried, considering that these were issues the guy who made the tutorial I followed didn’t mention.

What are your experiences with this? Could there be further issues down the line?

That shouldn’t happen, as the internal and external urls are seperated for a reason. :slight_smile:

Have you configured the setting for the “home” wifi? This setting is necessary for the internal url to work.
