Collecting events on local origins/IPs is now disabled by default. We've added two APIs to control this behavior, both with the tracker npm package and the script via a data attribute. The data attribute doesn't need a value, but can accept booleans if you want to dynamically set it via JS or in JSX
import * as Counterscale from "@counterscale/tracker"; Counterscale.init({ siteId: "your-unique-site-id", reportOnLocalhost: true, reporterUrl: "https://{subdomain-emitted-during-deploy}.workers.dev/collect", }); <script id="counterscale-script" data-site-id="your-unique-site-id" data-report-localhost src="https://{subdomain-emitted-during-deploy}.workers.dev/tracker.js" defer ></script>

Now, when you deploy Counterscale, you will be prompted to optionally enable auth for your dashboard via a password. If you choose to enable auth, you will enter your password on the command line. Once your app deploys, you'll be able to login to your dashboard using the password you entered.
# Upgrade to 3.2.0-beta.0 # You will be prompted to optionally setup auth # for your dashboard npx @counterscale/cli@latest install # Enable Auth on a previous deployment of 3.2.0-beta.0 npx @counterscale/clidlatest auth enable # Disable Auth npx @counterscale/cli@latest auth disable # Roll your existing password npx @counterscale/cli@latest auth roll
