By default they use the same authentication mechanism (shs) to grant access to the database, choosing access levels depending on the keypair that opens the connection. If you connect to yourself, you get full access (query and publish). If a remote peer connects, it can only replicate. So be sure to have **at least one** `incoming` connection. | ||

| 86 | 86 … | That beeing said, the overhead of encryption for local applications can be very high, especially on low-powered devices. For this use-case there is a `noauth` transform which by-passes the authentication and grants full access to anybody that can connect to it. **hint:** *This is risky! it might expose private messages or enables people to publish as you!* Therefore be sure to bind the listener to `localhost` or use the `unix` socket. The `unix` file socket is creted as `$HOME/.ssb/socket` by default and has permissions such that only the user running `sbot server` can open it, just like the `.ssb/secret` file. | |
