Home Assistant is an open source home automation server. It has integrations for a wide variety of devices, and allows you to create custom dashboards for viewing sensor information and controlling your devices. If you want to access your Home Assistant instance from anywhere, but cannot port forward due to CGNAT, making your instance publicly accessible via 44Net is one solution.
The easiest way to make your Home Assistant instance publicly accessible is by setting up a single device tunnel. However, before you make it publicly accessible, there are a few security considerations. First, you should configure your firewall. See Firewalling Basics for help with firewall configuration. It's also desirable to set up Let's Encrypt, so that your connection to Home Assistant will be encrypted with TLS, and will have protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.
