Stop/Private v0 Preview Link

Greetings,

Vercel Team, you have made an epic tool. but there is an issues after the website creation is finished we get a preview link to see how the website looks. But after cross checking its totally a public link anyone who can get access to it will be able to access the website. I am working on a private project and I really dont want anyone to access to the website until I go to production phase.

So I have few questions:

  1. Can I make the link private or something ? Like only I can see it if I give a particular pass key?
  2. Does the preview link automatically expire? If Yes after how long?
  3. If I delete the chat will that work will it make my preview link void?
  4. What other ways I can stop the preview link from exposing my private website?

Please provide me an answer as soon as possible. Thanks.

Hi @thepiratebay830-9919, are you talking about the “Open in new tab” link?

If so, yes this link is publicly available but uniquely generated for your application. You can rest assured that the links are generated to be random & unique so it is unlikely someone will end up on your website.

  1. I don’t think so.
  2. No.
  3. Yes.
  4. You can protect your website by adding some authentication inside the application itself.

I’d also like to clarify that having access to the public preview link isn’t the same as having access to the chat or your project code or the secret variables.

Hi thanks for your prompt reply. Yes you got it right I am talking about “Open in new tabl”

I did some testing and found out if I delete the project the link still exists but the content is inaccessible. I would really request to the vercel team to incorporate some kind of feature to be added so that the link can be only accessbile if you are logged in vercel or some kind of authorization.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll share this with our team. I’m sure we’ll find a way around it.
