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?

Nabucasa is what I do as I never managed to understand properly network rules. What your thoughts on wireguard?

Wireguard is good if you don't want easy access to notifications or location based automations. Otherwise you need to always make sure the VPN is on.
