I'm not going to repeat what I said (too much) - **SECURE NODE RED!!!**.

You have been warned, if you do not - you WILL BE a victim of open Node RED instances being hacked

But in answer to your question, setup SSL on Node RED

To answer any questions about security/SSL : see [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/safely-accessing-node-red-over-the-internet/45024) & [here](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/runtime/securing-node-red)

Nothing further... your honor
