Make allow remote incoming connections more secure #478

Description

Right now anyone with the same ip can connect to your project if you have 'allow remote incoming connections' checked. But this behaviour isn't very clear to the user so users might unintentionally open themselves up for undesired access when they are on a public wifi network for instance.

This can be improved in various ways:

  • We could make it so that all incoming connections need to be approved, or maybe make this a setting.
  • Allow the user to set a password.
  • We can make it more clear that this is how it works by adding a notification with an explanation. But users will likely not read this so this is my least favourite one.
