Hi, I tried to search my problem on google and on the forum but I did not find anything, I apologize in advance if the post has already been treated.
I am trying to insert links to external pages on the dashboard but every time I try to open them a local link is opened.
Basically if I insert the link [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) the browser tries to open "[http://192.168.0.52:1880/ui/www.google.it](http://192.168.0.52:1880/ui/www.google.it)" obviously returning an error.
Thanks in advance to those who want to help me.

Start your link with `https://` - so `https://www.google.com`
