 > Zerobyte is still in version 0.x.x and is subject to major changes from version to version. I am developing the core features and collecting feedbacks. Expect bugs! Please open issues or feature requests
 
+> [!WARNING]
+> It is highly discouraged to run Zerobyte on a server that is accessible from the internet (VPS or home server with port forwarding) If you do, make sure to change the port mapping to "127.0.0.1:4096:4096" and use a secure tunnel (SSH tunnel, Cloudflare Tunnel, etc.) to access the web interface remotely
