Setting Node PassCode for Enhanced Privacy

Overview

A PassCode adds an extra layer of security to your node by making it private. When enabled, your node will only be accessible to users who have the PassCode, making it ideal for private communities or selective service provision.

Prerequisites

• AeroNyx client installed and running

• Node operational and active

• Chrome browser (recommended)
