I briefly mention using a dynamic secret manager in https://docs.openc3.com/docs/guides/scripting-api#initialize_offline_access, I'm curious if we'd like to add something about that here as well

| By default, COSMOS only listens on localhost (127.0.0.1). This configuration keeps COSMOS completely off the network and is only vulnerable to local users of the host computer. | ||

| For production use, it is recommended to open COSMOS to the network and run clients from other machines. This removes browser load from the host computer and allows better securing of the host. See [SSL/TLS](../configuration/ssl-tls) for configuring HTTPS. |
