I have setup frigate. I am yet to go through the home assistant setup.

My ISP doesn't provide public IPv4 address, and provides dynamic IPv6 address, although I am not sure if ports are exposed on the WAN.

Currently frigate access is restricted to LAN, and I assume home assistant notifications would also be restricted to LAN. I want to be able to at least get notified when not at home, and even better if I can access frigate itself.

I am thinking of two solutions,

  1. Use IPv6 based dynamic dns. This will allow access for IPv6 based hosts. Not ideal, but should be mostly fine. IPv6 is very common here in India.

  2. Use reverse proxy tunnel. Maybe tailscale supports it? Need to investigate this.

What are you using to get notified outside LAN?
