Hi everyone

So, that's a 2 in 1 post. First a more general question then looking for advice for a friend.

What is your preferred way to access HA from outside (and why)?
a friend of mine use duckdns and I often read (recently) that some people are having issue with it. Is wireguard a better way or another solution that is not too techy to deal with?

DuckDNS + LetsEncrypt + Pihole + Tailscale.

I use DuckDNS for my domain name but put in a random IP that isn't mine.

LetsEncrypt to generate certificates for my DuckDNS domain using the DNS Check option.

Pihole to locally route traffic for my domain on my network to my home server

Tailscale to remotely access to my network.
