I mean no but the added security kind of trumps everything else. It helps to not expose my public IP and the added bonus of firewall rules too.

So what provider does everyone recommend instead of cloudflare for proxy? I use cloudflare to protect all my websites but I've been trying to find some other place to proxy them from.

I don't really get the rub here, JM all for separating work devices and personal devices but the 2fa apps don't leak any info and the company can't "do" anything to your phone remotely. The apps work in air plane mode. I also want to bet more than half the users that complain about this use the companies free WiFi.

Get a flip phone and say you can't install it, however SMS 2fa is very insecure.

+1 they are completely local, cheap and have a tight integration with home assistant, I have 5 of their cameras.

I tried this for 2 months with tailscale and love it, however having it run 24/7 on both my wife's and my phone was too much. It literally wiped out the battery on my wife's iPhone 12 unless she charged it in the middle of the day. I lost about 40% more battery throughout the day on my android. I had to switch back to cloudflare and nginx proxy manager for now.

Hmm ok I've only tried accessing the login page via my browser using the fqdn but haven't tried from another source like davx. I have 10 other services working fine over the internet so I'm not sure what im doing wrong with this setup.

I love the dragon age series, my favourite RPG games by far. I honestly think inquisition was my favourite game of the series so far and has a lot of replay ability. I can say enough good things about this series the combat, story, characters, crafting, I absolutely love these games. I'm hyped for dreadwolf.

I have a proxmox hassio VM with 2gb ram and it runs everything smart in my house. The main purpose would be for automations IMO. Like when my phone chargers at night the house lights, TVs locks all shut down and the cameras go into alerting mode. Home assistant is amazing since you don't have to have 5 apps to control stuff and your data is completely private unlike when using Google home etc. When buying IOT devices I would say stick with zigbee, zwave and only buy WiFi stuff if it works locally without having to have internet wccess.

This exactly what I'm trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I'm having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?

Not a shameless plug at all. Damn this is super nice! Thanks for posting this I'm definitely going to be looking into this project!

This is why I have my cameras locally and can't reach the internet. 2fa screw up, accidentally sending other peoples cameras to users then this!? Not sure how this company is still alive. They have no idea what they are doing security wise.

Good thing I have frigate nvr setup and don't need their app at all. This is super sad since these are my go to cameras. I will still buy them since I put them on a vlan and block all internet access. This is sad though 😕
