## What it is
A Home Assistant add-on that runs Cloudflared to create a secure Cloudflare Tunnel to your Home Assistant instance. It enables remote access without opening router ports, optionally secured with Cloudflare Zero Trust.

## Use cases
- access home assistant remotely without port forwarding
- expose home assistant securely through cloudflare tunnel
- avoid opening ports on my router for remote access
- secure remote home assistant access with cloudflare zero trust
- connect to home assistant from outside my network
- tunnel other self-hosted services through cloudflare

## When to choose
- you already own a domain using Cloudflare DNS
- you want remote access to Home Assistant without exposing ports
- you want to layer Cloudflare Zero Trust access policies on top

## When to avoid
- your domain's DNS is not hosted on Cloudflare
- you don't own a domain name
- you prefer VPN-based access like WireGuard or Tailscale
- you cannot comply with Cloudflare's Self-Serve Subscription Agreement
