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 use the Google assistant integration, and it works right now. With duck, I think it was maybe 50/50 on it that a voice command worked. Some days it was nearly not at all. So far with cloudflare, I've had no "I'm sorry, but ___ is not available right now"
