I have covered quite a few different remote access solutions for Home Assistant, either through port forwarding or setting up VPNS but recently, it has emerged there is another way to do it...via a Cloudflare tunnel! So let's take a look at it & I'll show you how to set it up with a free domain name & explain why you may do this over some of those other methods we've talked about in the past!
