This is my way of encouraging myself to do something I should have done ages ago.... :slight_smile: In the next few weeks I will benefit from a VPN setup, so thought I would setup a topic to capture my experience... But am happy for others to chime in with their own tips. Some time ago I setup Wir…

Thanks for starting this topic. My only goal in getting a VPN is to be able to see the graphs on my Hubitat Dashboard when I am away from home. Is there a safer way, other than a VPN to do this? My hesitation with a VPN is I don't want to open a route to my home network that could get hacked, bec…

I'm currently running Wireguard on DD-WRT firmware on my router. I used to use the built in Open VPN, but Wireguard is much simpler to set up on the router and client devices. I've played around with ZeroTier and Tailscale but didn't find either one to be a better solution for me. On my phone I'm u…

AFAIK a quality VPN is the safest way to allow access to your home network when you're away. If you wanted general access to your home network that is the way you should go. That said, you don't need a VPN to access your Hubitat dashboards remotely. You have a cloud link in the Hubitat Dashboard ap…

The dashboard works via the Hubitat App, but the graphs don't show up when I am not connected to the local network. If you know how I can fix that without a VPN that would be SO APPRECIATED!!!

Maybe better to start a new topic so you don't divert this one too much away from its purpose. And you'll need to provide more info in that topic on what graphs from what sources, etc., that aren't working w/the cloud link. :slight_smile:

OK, back to this VPN thread as that other thread settles a VPN is needed. AFAIK a quality VPN is the safest way to allow access to your home network when you're away. Is a VPN via my Asus router "a quality VPN"? If so, which of the four options is recommended? If you wanted general access to …

I experimented with Cloudflare and another similar option that I can't remember name and both seemed like great options if I didn't already have Wireguard VPN.

+1 for Tailscale. Have to say it wasn't as easy as click and go, eventually got it working. Running it on my Qnap using Virtualization Station . Tried setting it up using a container but that was way over my screwing around tolerance. :crazy_face:

Done.

See HubiGraphs in Hubitat Android App Dashboard when not connected to Local network? Android App

My goal is to see the graphs, created in Hubigraphs, that are in my Hubitat Dashboard, when I access the dashboard via the Android Hubitat App when I am away from my network. I thought this was not possible without a VPN, so asked about accomplishing this via VPN in the linked thread. @danabw requested that I start a new thread for this, so perhaps my goal does not require a VPN? Any info appreciated!
