Home Assistant Add-on: Cloudflared

Connect remotely to your Home Assistant instance without opening any ports using Cloudflared.

About

Cloudflared connects your Home Assistant Instance via a secure tunnel to a domain or subdomain at Cloudflare. Doing that, you can expose your Home Assistant to the Internet without opening ports in your router. Additionally, you can utilize Cloudflare Teams, their Zero Trust platform to further secure your Home Assistant connection.

To use this add-on, you have to own a domain name (e.g. example.com) and use the DNS servers of Cloudflare. If you do not have one, you can get one for free at Freenom following this article.

Note: This add-on needs the Admin API role in order to get the internal IP of Nginx Proxy Manager, in case it is used with the tunnel.

Please make sure to be compliant with the Cloudflare Self-Serve Subscription Agreement when using this add-on. Especially section 2.8 could be breached when mainly streaming videos or other Non-HTML content.
