246 | 246 |
|
247 | 247 | However, the way the index is implemented relies on a single file, which might make opening or updating the files in a repository slow when you have a lot (many thousands) of files. If you are planning to store a very large number of files, consider splitting them into multiple repositories.

| 249 | +### Can I access the prvt web UI over the network? |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +Yes, but this is not allowed by default, as the prvt server is listening on 127.0.0.1 only. To connect to a prvt server over the network, set the `--address 0.0.0.0` option for the `prvt serve` command. |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +Note that prvt is optimized for running on your local machine and does not feature any authentication out-of-the-box. If you expose prvt on the network, anyone can access the files in your repository through the web UI. |
