I use Owntracks for a very similar use-case. It works fantastic, there's a bunch of things you can do on top of it...

By the time I set up the whole thing, I posted this explaining how to expose a local node-red instance free and secure. The use case was allowing owntracks app to report back where the mobile is:

> Some months back, I published a video showing how to use cloudflare tunnels to access node-red running on a Synology NAS. I told @cymplecy on this [post](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/remote-free-and-secure-access-to-your-node-red-instance-at-home/60353) I would grab my old RPi and record a video showing how to get the same result if node-red was running on a RPi as a host. Well, this is the result of the "promise" I did. Hoping the community can take advantage of it also: [[HOW TO: Remote access a Raspberry Pi using a Cloudflare tunnel (node-red and ssh).] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6b3l1z0N7w) Take care! …
