If you cannot access your Home Assistant installation remotely, remember to check if your ISP provides you with a dedicated IP, instead of one shared with other users via a [CG-NAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT). This is becoming fairly common nowadays due to the shortage of IPv4 addresses. Some, if not most ISPs will require you to pay an extra fee to be assigned a dedicated IPv4 address.
Remember: Just putting a port up is not secure. You should definitely consider encrypting your traffic if you are accessing your Home Assistant installation remotely. For details please check the [set up encryption using Let's Encrypt](/blog/2017/09/27/effortless-encryption-with-lets-encrypt-and-duckdns/) blog post or this [detailed guide](/docs/ecosystem/certificates/lets_encrypt/) to using Let's Encrypt with Home Assistant.
