Connecting to Node RED Raspberry Pi dashboard shows an unsecure connection on both Pi and PC

General

Node-RED version: v2.2.2
Node.js version: v14.19.3

After installing Node RED on my Raspberry Pi A+ using the installation command and configuring the inital options when I tried to open the dashboard it would bring up an error page saying that it can't provide a secure connection. So I thought it might just be my PC and connected the Pi to my monitor. But it also provided the unsecure connection error, is there any way to fix this?

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.

If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.

You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

What URL did you enter? Try explicitly entering the full URL including the http part

http://ip-of-rasp-pi:1880/

By default, Node-RED creates an unsecured connection rather than a secured one. As Steve says, you should use http instead of https.

If you want a secured connection, you can configure it in settings.js or you might consider an external reverse proxy to manage the TLS connectivity.

Ahh! thats it! Thank you so much. But its so weird that when i downloaded node red on my pc and entered my ip it would go though.
