> Update 2025-02-19 The best advice for most people doing home automation is still: Don't expose Node-RED to the outside world! Where you really have to have some outside access, keep it as hands-off and restricted as possible. For example, using a Telegram bot. Also keep it as minimal as possible, e.g. Don't expose the Editor - EVER!

I use Cloudflare Zero Trust, and Tailscale, though the latter is a VPN based solution which may not be what you want.
