Hello!
Im having issues with installing duckdns on my home assistant, any help would be greatly appreciated
I have no clue what exactly is going wrong other than im not able to log in using my duckdns url.

I have added the token, the url, then the configuration to the config file. Then i check things in the dev menue, all green and restart. when i restart the only way to log in it to use https://homeassistant.local:8123/
when i do this it says there is a safety warning and i can proceed and log in. but i can still only log in when on the same internet connection. if you need more information please ask and i can give it

Hi there, have you tried your duckdns url? Ex. https://<myha>.duckdns.org, <myha> is your subdomain.

Is your router/dns server setup correctly to point your duckdns subdomain to internal ip:port of HA? Are there any errors in duckdns' log? Try restarting your router if that helps.

yes, did you forward port 443 (or 8123) on your router?

if you want to use a url like
https://<myha>.duckdns.org
then you must port forward port 443 from outside to port 8123 on your home assistants ip address internally. this must be done on your router, so it is not something ha can help with
if instead you want to use
https://<myha>.duckdns.org:8123
then you must also set up the port forwarding, but the incoming port number should also be 8123, not 443
