How do I get phone notifications from my server while I'm not connected to my home network? (lemm.ee)

Hey guys. Im running Home Assistant in docker container for few years and I'm super happy with it. The only way I access my server when not home is wireguard VPN. I noticed that I'm still receiving notifications even when not connected to VPN. I wonder how is that possible?

I don't have sub for HA Cloud or Nabu Casa. I also don't own a domain, using duckdns for wireguard connection and reverse proxy (npm). I thought I have 100% local setup, but I guess there is a Google or HA server in between. I don't want to disable the feature, I just want to know where is my data being sent

Thx

Just to add... if you don't want this, the minimal version of the HA app doesn't use 3rd party systems for notifications (you'd need to setup something yourself), so if this is a problem for you, there's also that option..

Just sayin'...
