[ale] Home Assistant / Docker / Network Security

[DJ-Pfulio]

Wouldn't a VPN be more secure? I know nothing about HomeAssist protocols.

I use VPN (openvpn AES256) or an ssh-SOCKS proxy to access a LAN-only
Plex server.

Patching?  Is that not done, like how Asterisk is generally deployed
commercially?
