WalkthroughThe remote-access guide documents Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, HomeKit, Caddy, nginx, and Traefik. It adds authentication, HTTPS, WebSocket proxy settings, route-specific setup, and OTA Lock configuration. ChangesSecure remote access
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The documentation still includes a command that exposes plaintext passwords, a certificate setup that can fail renewal when only HTTPS is forwarded, and an nginx WebSocket configuration that may disconnect idle live views; these bounded security and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@docs/advanced/access-over-internet.md`:
- Around line 139-140: Update the “Enable the OTA lock” tip to explicitly
require enabling OTA Lock and changing the default wledota password to a
non-default value. Describe the protection as blocking Wi-Fi OTA updates, rather
than claiming it prevents every possible firmware replacement.
- Line 33: Add Linux client route acceptance guidance to the Tailscale access
instructions: document running `sudo tailscale set --accept-routes=true` on the
Linux laptop before accessing WLED through the advertised subnet route. Keep the
existing phone and `.ts.net` guidance unchanged.
- Around line 44-46: Reorder the Cloudflare setup steps so the Access
application and its allow-only policy for the hostname are created before
configuring the tunnel’s public hostname route. Preserve the existing hostname
example and one-time PIN policy, then add the route to the WLED service only
after Access protection is in place.
- Around line 21-23: Update the Tailscale setup sequence after installing
Tailscale on the always-on home device to run sudo tailscale up and complete
device authentication before the advertise-routes command. Keep the existing
subnet adjustment guidance and ensure tailscale set is presented only after
authentication.
- Around line 23-31: Update the Tailscale route example to advertise only the
WLED host using a /32 placeholder instead of the entire LAN /24 subnet, and add
documentation for a corresponding Tailscale grant or ACL restricting access to
that WLED host.

Enable IP forwarding before advertising the subnet route, matching Tailscale's subnet router guide. Say the Cloudflare Access policy should allow your own email address. A policy that names only the login method lets in anyone who can receive a one-time PIN.

basic_auth(renamed in Caddy 2.8), a subdomain vhost instead of the/wled/path-strip pattern, and both 80 and 443 forwarded. The old "only requires port 443" claim doesn't match Caddy's docs, which want both ports for the ACME challenges and the HTTP redirect./ws).Commands and claims were checked against the current Tailscale, Cloudflare, Caddy, nginx, Traefik, and Apple documentation.
