Hiya, just got NPM installed and working, very happy to finally have SSL certs on all of my serivces and proper URLs to navigate to them, what a breeze! However, as I am still in the learning process: I am curious to know when to enable these three toggles and for what services. I assume the “Block Common Exploits”, can always be turned on. But unsure about the two others. Some applications have not worked until I turned on the Websockets Support, but I dont really know what it does, nor do I know what applications need this in order to fully work. Are there any thumb rules for these things?

Appriciate any pointers! 🌻

Thanks for this, I guess it would matter much for me to have the BCE on or not, as my services are only hosted over my own VPN and not exposed at all.

Then yeah, that option is worthless to you. For me, having networked solutions over a domain I have that enabled. But if its just internally I’d also disable it
