It looks like the author added authentication to support accessing the app from anywhere.
Would it instead be possible/easier to throw it on a VPN and make the VPN accessible from anywhere?
The reason I ask is that I want to be able to access personal web apps securely and I’m trying to figure out the easiest approach. Every time I look at authentication, it’s a labyrinth of concepts, protocols, and libraries. I don’t want to maintain that!
