Start with tunnel : what about privacy ?

[thomasleveil]

I have not dug into the source code to try to figure out what this tunnel feature does under the hood, but the question that arose when I read this chapter was : which server ?

It would be great if you could develop the documentation for Start with tunnel so that we can understand if our data can be seen or stored anywhere on your server when using the tunnel feature.

A schematic explaining how things are connected together would be very helpful

It is actually only ment for local testing and development (to get a n8n instance web accessible fast and simple). It is definetly not ment to be used in a production setup and even less with any kind of sensitive data.

You are right! I definetly have to make that very very clear, what it is currently not, as I did not mention that at all. Somehow just totally wrongly assumed that this is clear as sending all your data through a server that is not yours sounds already bad ;-)

Just fyi what code is behind the tunnel. It is an own instance of this:

Ok added it to documentation and CLI option description. Thanks for making me aware of that!
