Creating a Secure Tunnel for Home Assistant

In this post, I'm documenting step by step on how I created a secure tunnel for my Home Assistant installation. By creating the tunnel, now I can connect to my Home Assistant website from anywhere via the internet. The benefit of being able to connect my Home Assistant from anywhere in the world is that now I can control all smart devices in my home not just while I'm home, but also while I'm away. So that if I forget turning off a switch or an appliance while away from home, I can turn it off using my smart phone.
