Hello i'm new in node red.
i'm using node red version 0.20.0
js version = 6.4.1
Running on Windows 10
I want to detect if someone access my node red via ip (local). The output can be payload or something else. is it possible?
I already try with tcp node, and it is not worked.

From your scant description, I'm guessing you are going to open your node-red to the internet.
WARNING! unless you have secured it, this copl allow others to attack your network.
Do a search on the forum for threads about securing node-red and impliment them before going any further. once you have done that and want to discuess this issue, feel free to ask. Note: when opening a thread, it is a good idea to specify:
- the hardware NR runs on,
- what OS,
- the version of NR
- the version node.js
- the dashboard if you are using it
- what you have tried already.
If you have a problem, creating a small flow showing the issue and providing the flow along with the full name (i.e. node-red-contrib-xxxx) of any extra nodes you are using is very helpfull too.
