Hey all!

I’m fairly new to Home Assistant and have just created a few dashboards to be able to view my router statistics and be able to restart them via REST if need be. Love being able to do this seamlessly from one place.

It got me thinking however, that I can only really access the dashboard when I’m on my internal network. I know that there is a paid Home Assistant cloud that would enable me to view my dashboards and such publicly and securely, but I was wondering if this community has set it up themselves for free and securely.

Would anyone be able to guide me in the right direction?

    Tailscale is a virtual lan network. When you enable tailscale, you’ll have an additional network and ip address in your connected devices. It’s not actually redirecting all your traffics there, unless you specifically configure it to do so (if you do so, you can designated a device as an “exit node” for your outbound traffic).
