Hi everyone

So, that's a 2 in 1 post. First a more general question then looking for advice for a friend.

What is your preferred way to access HA from outside (and why)?
a friend of mine use duckdns and I often read (recently) that some people are having issue with it. Is wireguard a better way or another solution that is not too techy to deal with?

I just set up Tailscale for the first time, and it is mind-blowing how easy and straightforward it is compared to previous times I've set up VPNs. I can't imagine ever going back (maybe I'd selfhost Headscale). It's such a great system (product?).
