(Solved) External website protection

Until now I use 2022.1 on a Raspberry PI3B
Now I'm going to use a ThinClient HP-T530 with Mint-22.1 and Domoticz 2024.7

So Far, So Good and now I want to enable external website access.

In 2022.1 under settings I see a 'Website Protection' to define a Login Page with user/password.
In 2024.7 this option is gone, I see no possibility to add a Login Page with Website Protection.

Sorry for my ignorance, but somewhere in the settings there must be a option which I cannot find.

That old login method is deprecated.
But still login is possible with user accounts, see: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Security

I'm on this option.
RPI + PiHole + PiVPN
PiVPN gives you a secure tunnel to your RPI.
You can access your domoticz 'locally' and PiHole gives you adblocking.
The bonus is that when you're abroad you can use the local WiFi network without danger as long as you're using your PiVPN connection.

I suggest you take a look at wireguard.
