-Before exposing your Home Assistant instance to the outside world it is ESSENTIAL that you have set a password following the advice on the [http](/components/http/) page. -
- - This guide was added by mf_social on 16/03/2017 and was valid at the time of writing. This guide makes the following assumptions: * You can access your Home Assistant instance across your local network, and access the device that it is on via SSH from your local network. * You know the internal IP address of your router and can access your router's configuration pages. - * You have already set up a password for your Home Assistant instance, following the advice on this page: [http](/docs/configuration/basic/) + * You have already secured your Home Assistant instance, following the advice on [this page](/docs/configuration/securing/) * You want to access your Home Assistant instance when you are away from home (ie, not connected to your local network) and secure it with a TLS/SSL certificate. * You have a basic understanding of the phrases I have used so far. * You are not currently running anything on port 80 on your network (you'd know if you were).
