Also, I've been reading your articles: [Safely accessing Node-RED over the Internet](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/safely-accessing-node-red-over-the-internet/45024) as well as [Dashboard suddenly asks for password (Hacked Node-RED servers)](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dashboard-suddenly-asks-for-password-hacked-node-red-servers/69083) and now I'm wondering, how do I verify that my device is not currently exposed to the internet. 😬 Thank you in advance!
