Hello, would it be possible to put a password on the Config tab, this will allow me to share the Livemap on a forum, and without the possibility for visitors to be able to modify the configuration of my TTGO, they would just have the possibility of following live the probes received on my station, thank you.

Yes (I have plans to do that)...

But...

  • mainly intended to prevent other people on the same local network to do silly things :)
  • If exposed to the Internet, even running on some strange nonstandard port, a TTGO eventually will be found by scanners and then (potentially) get quite a lot of traffic. For this reason I want to discourage exposing the TTGO to the Internet directly. The ESP is rather limited in resources, in particular RAM, and the number of connections it can handle is very limited. In the worst case it will just crash.
  • If at all, the better set up would be an apache or nginx caching reverse proxy with the TTGO as backend (but ok, even for this access control for the config etc would be useful)

it would be for 2 or 3 people max, it's just to see the decoding remotely on my ttgo, and prevent a person from being able to modify the parameters, I already use it like that on my forum, with 2 friends who can watch the live decoding of my station, it's been working perfectly for over a year and without any crashes, thank you for your work
