  • It depends on your motivations and security requirements.

    If you’re already hosting Home Assistant, there is an add-on for CloudFlared which will take care of most of everything for you, using CloudFlare secure tunnels.
    It even does simple subdomain reverse proxy, to serve your other services.

    It requires that you use CloudFlare for your DNS entries, and it won’t secure your host for you (they do offer some free services to help a little), and you still end up depending on a cloud service provider so it’s not pure self hosting.
    But it’s free, you’re still mostly in control, and it’s less likely to catastrophically mess up your netsec if you’re a beginner.
