prohibit access in my TTGO settings

[14ri004]

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to share the Livemap view with other people, so I opened a port on my box and I share the link on my forum, I have authorized that 2 people can see live the Livemap of my TTGO, but how can I prohibit access in the settings of my TTGO, why not have a password to access the Settings??

THANKS

I am of the opinion that there is no possibility of authentication - that is not really necessary. But why do you want to make your live map accessible to other people? I could also imagine that the ESP32 reaches the limits of its performance with a certain number of parallel accesses. All the data that is displayed there is also available much more elegantly via Sondehub - which has one (or more) significantly more powerful web servers.

I agree with DG0MG – this kind of use will not work well, the ESP32 will quickly reach its limitations.

There are several better options:

• Share your data with some public server (sondehub, wettersonde.net, radiosondy.info, etc.)
• Run your own server and enable other people to access that if you don't want to use a public server. Chasemapper is one supported option.

That said, I will probably add some basic authentication mechanisms in the future. This should be useful mainly for preventing your friends or your kids in your home network to accidentally or intentionally mess around with the TTGO settings. I will never advocate exposing the TTGO to the public Internet.
