## Strict connections
In this release, we’ve added a new security feature to Home Assistant:
Strict connection.
Home Assistant will become more strict about the connections it accepts from
non-private networks when enabling this mode. This feature is especially useful
when exposing your Home Assistant instance to the internet.
When enabled, Home Assistant will only accept clients that have already been
authenticated. This means that unauthenticated connections will be denied
without the possibility of logging in directly. To log in to a new device,
you need to be either on the local network or use a temporary link generated
by someone with administrator access.

Strict connection comes in two modes: **Guard page** and **Drop connection**.
When your Home Assistant is accessed unauthenticated using the **guard page**
mode, it will show a page where the user cannot access the instance. Login is
not possible (unless you have a temporary login link).
When using the **drop connection** mode, Home Assistant will not even show the
login page. The connection will be dropped immediately, making it look like
no Home Assistant is there at all.
The strict connection feature is available for [Home Assistant Cloud](https://www.nabucasa.com)
and non-cloud users. For non-cloud users, this option is available via YAML
configuration. Home Assistant Cloud users can manage this feature from the
cloud settings page.
