Thank you for your reply :-)

But I always have to use the webhookrelay.com/ server ?

If it's possible I would like to use my own server to be independent

well, it is a SaaS :) If you are using OVH, you can have a static IP and you wouldn't even need such service. Just get an nginx reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt support and create an A record inside your DNS provider.

There are options for self-hosted tunneling server but that's more for business as the cost is higher than the public paid plans.

yes but I have 3 houses with 3 hass :-)

And I have 3 differents internet providers and with one I can't have a static IP and open ports etc

So I would like to use the same thing has described because all my hass could be connected without opening ports

got it :) You want to use OVH instance as a gateway for your HA instances that are inside private networks.

Have a look at frp: github.com/fatedier/frp

It can do pretty much the same thing as Webhook Relay. You will need to deploy frp server on your OVH servers and the frp clients next to your HA instances. It's really good quality software with many users.

I achieved the installation of FRPS and FRPC :=)

It works. I tried an ssh redirection and works fine.

Now I would like to connect multiple hass in differents house. Do you know how to configure frpc.ini ?
