I’ve just started trying stuff with HA for the first time, and while I’m quite inexperienced it’s been great fun so far. I got everything to work on a old laptop with Virtualbox and a Zigbee dongle through trial and error. I’m not (yet) interested in remote access, so I’ve stayed away from that so far. I do have a question, though: if I set up everything on a VM with a LAN connection to my local network, is the ‘default’ situation one where HA is not exposed to the internet? Or should I configure things to make sure it is secure?
Thanks!
