Home Assistant Remote Access using Reverse Proxy (NGINX & DuckDNS)

This video will be a step-by-step tutorial of how to setup secure Home Assistant remote access using #NGINX reverse proxy and #DuckDNS. In other words you will be able to access your #HomeAssistant via encrypted connection with a legit, trusted certificate when you are outside your local network, but at the same time when you are connected to your local home network you will still be able to use the regular non-encrypted HTTP connection giving you the best possible speed without any latencies and delays. The best of all – it is all totally FREE.
