Been trying to figure out how to use a WireGuard VPN to access my #HomeAssistant from outside my home network, and, well, it's beaten me. For now.

I can ping it from other machines connected to the VPN, but I'm damned if I can actually connect to it.

Ultimately the trouble is that I don't know what I'm doing.

@DJDarren I ended up using Tailscale for this purpose, which is based on Wireguard, and is free for home use cases.

@DJDarren Forgot to mention, there’s an in built app in HA for Tailscale: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tailscale/
