I mean no but the added security kind of trumps everything else. It helps to not expose my public IP and the added bonus of firewall rules too.

So what provider does everyone recommend instead of cloudflare for proxy? I use cloudflare to protect all my websites but I've been trying to find some other place to proxy them from.

I don't really get the rub here, JM all for separating work devices and personal devices but the 2fa apps don't leak any info and the company can't "do" anything to your phone remotely. The apps work in air plane mode. I also want to bet more than half the users that complain about this use the companies free WiFi.

Get a flip phone and say you can't install it, however SMS 2fa is very insecure.

+1 they are completely local, cheap and have a tight integration with home assistant, I have 5 of their cameras.

I tried this for 2 months with tailscale and love it, however having it run 24/7 on both my wife's and my phone was too much. It literally wiped out the battery on my wife's iPhone 12 unless she charged it in the middle of the day. I lost about 40% more battery throughout the day on my android. I had to switch back to cloudflare and nginx proxy manager for now.

Hmm ok I've only tried accessing the login page via my browser using the fqdn but haven't tried from another source like davx. I have 10 other services working fine over the internet so I'm not sure what im doing wrong with this setup.

I love the dragon age series, my favourite RPG games by far. I honestly think inquisition was my favourite game of the series so far and has a lot of replay ability. I can say enough good things about this series the combat, story, characters, crafting, I absolutely love these games. I'm hyped for dreadwolf.

3rd time is a charm? I'm really hoping I get a refund now, this is exactly why valve is so good and everybody loves them. Valve being a class act as usual.

The real problem for me is the fact this could have been implemented at launch....no reason not to except it would just hurt sales. How many people actually read the fine print of all the games they buy? I would never expect to create a PSN account if I'm playing on PC. Just sneaky dirty tactics not to mention the whole point of this is not to ban players easily its so Sony can suck up that data..

Man I really really hate the state of gaming right now....pay to win, in game currency, DLCs, half ass games made... I liked this game but this is by far stupid and makes no sense for me to continue playing. I honestly shouldn't have to worry about "account linking" when buying a game on steam.

This feels like a bait and switch, why wasnt this mandatory and upfront from the beginning? They knew that would hurt sales.....

I have a proxmox hassio VM with 2gb ram and it runs everything smart in my house. The main purpose would be for automations IMO. Like when my phone chargers at night the house lights, TVs locks all shut down and the cameras go into alerting mode. Home assistant is amazing since you don't have to have 5 apps to control stuff and your data is completely private unlike when using Google home etc. When buying IOT devices I would say stick with zigbee, zwave and only buy WiFi stuff if it works locally without having to have internet wccess.

This exactly what I'm trying to do, get valid https certificates via a domain name on cloudflare. I have nginx proxy manager running and working to serve a couple of sites like home assistant. The problem I'm having is how do I get valid certificates for my internal services via npm but only be able to access them inside my lan not the internet?
