Understanding My Connection to My HA Installation

++++++

Why are you using DuckDNS with Let’s Encrypt if you also have Nabu Casa? I dropped DuckDNS and LetsEncrypt like warm dung.

I use the Zerotier add-on that creates a software-defined WAN. Using my ZeroTier IP address I can SSH into any server on my LAN and use Samba shares from anywhere I have Internet.

Similarly, I use DWService to allow for remote screen sharing from anywhere I have Internet.

Both are free for home use.
