Description: Yo! In this video, I'll be covering how to setup port forwarding, DNS, and encryption for Home Assistant. These services let you accomplish one awesome thing - safely and securely accessing and controlling your Home Assistant instance from anywhere in the world. It's super easy and everybody who uses Home Assistant and similar home automation tech should use it. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Happy to help as much as I can! Cheers, Ben P.S. Oh yeah, one more great thing about SSL is that it allows Home Assistant to leverage some new web services that allow for things like faster frontend loading times and eventually push notifications. Thanks Paulus (@Balloob - the HA creator) for pointing that out.
