Protect your privacy and access Home Assistant via Tor.
This Tor add-on allows you to access you Home Assistant instance as an Onion site, trough Tor's Hidden Service feature. With this feature enabled, you do not need to open your firewall ports or setup HTTPS to enable secure remote access.
This is useful if you want to have:
- Access your Home Assistant instance remotely without opening a firewall port or setting up a VPN.
- Don’t want to or know how to get an SSL/TLS certificate and HTTPS configuration setup.
- Want to block attackers from even being able to access/scan your port and server at all.
- Want to block anyone from knowing your home IP address and seeing your traffic to your Home Assistant.
The add-on also offers the possibility to open a Sock proxy into the Tor network. Allowing you to access Tor from any of your (SOCKS supporting) applications through your Home Assistant installation.
