Maybe it’s nice to have a configuration setting in which you can set a private ip-address range like:
http:
- private: 192.168.0.0/24
If you connect with a private address you are not prompted with a password.
This can be handy in the following example:
I made my home-assistant instance available from the public internet, so it is password protected. But when other members of the family or even guests are connecting thru our private address space they are also are prompted with the password (they don’t know it).
