Can Other People Connect to the Proxy I Set Up? How to Control Access Safely

Yo! Totally get why you’re freaked out. If you’re asking *can other people connect to the proxy I set up*, the answer is yes unless you lock it down.

You can use a firewall to restrict access to only your devices. Or, if you’re using something like Nginx as a proxy, you can set up basic auth (username/password).

Also, if someone does connect, they *could* see your traffic if it’s not encrypted. So, double-check that you’re using HTTPS everywhere.

Here’s a quick tutorial on Nginx proxy auth: [link]. Super helpful!
