Replicate Nabu Casa's remote access

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,
has anyone ever tried to replicate Nabu Home’s type of remote access? I have my own personal web hosting and I would like to know if it was possible to create remote access without opening the ports on the router as in the configuration with nabu casa

I use Cloudflare, easy setup and working very well Cloudflare - Home Assistant

I have also Cloudflare (plus I have a public static IP), but if is possible to replicate the Nabu Casa’s remote access, so I can close the 443 port on my router and keep it “more secure”. I can also pay Nabu, but I already pay my Aruba hosting…

Cloudflare is one solution and there are many others.
The thing to know is that it is pretty much the same as opening a port in your own router.
The difference is just how starts the connection, which can be important with certain ISP subscriptions. The end result is the same though, IE. ports open to the internet.

Cloudflare Tunnels do that

Or you can run a reverse proxy on your web host, and VPN from home to that web host. I cover that in more detail here.

Personally I’d just use a Cloudflare Tunnel.

This is what I do, I personally use Caddy (also available as an add-on for HAOS) and handle all of my services that I want to be accessible from outside my home through that.
