Hi, is there a way to protect the webhook endpoint? We are going to implement it but from what I have seen you can configure a token in the configuration file of the alpr scanner, and it is something static.

@hgarcia-binwus You can secure the webhook endpoint by verifying the source IP of the request. Do you need help on how to do this?

Thanks for your reply.
The application will be behind a NAT on a dynamic public IP.
We are thinking about these options:
(a) Encrypted content, is there a way to encrypt the content of the request? We are in favor of this option but we do not know if it is feasible with the software.
(b) Send the request through the ssh reverse tunnel, so the request is made to localhost transparently. It is not what we want because it requires more resources on our server.
Thanks in advance.

@hgarcia-binwus For encryption, HTTPS should do. You can setup nginx as a proxy infront of the application then use LetsEncrypt for a free certificate.
