Via renaming of the original account I created my personal account. But exactly because of the thinking of @TotallyInformation I now created a separate user, which just runs Node-RED. I became kind of fluent with Linux, so I now also like some nerdy stuff there 😉 And this new user needed to support this as well.

And the original anxiety, which sparked my whole topic is exactly, what you described here: [Happy New Year (well maybe for some) ... A security warning](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/happy-new-year-well-maybe-for-some-a-security-warning/19793) Of course I will also take additional measures, when ever making Node-RED accessible from the internet. But I like multiple safety nets, especially for such a mighty thing as Node-RED, which I have not yet understood and therefore cannot assess the risk and potential mitigation strategies.
