authentication, it does not use encryption, so your login credentials
are sent as clear text that can be read by anyone on your network
path. Additionally, the RPC interface has not been hardened to
withstand arbitrary Internet traffic, so changing the above settings
to expose it to the Internet (even using something like a Tor hidden
service) could expose you to unconsidered vulnerabilities. See
`bitcoind -help` for more information about these settings and other
`dashd -help` for more information about these settings and other
settings described in this document.

Related, if you use Dash Core inside a Docker container, you may
need to expose the RPC port to the host system. The default way to
do this in Docker also exposes the port to the public Internet.
Instead, expose it only on the host system's localhost, for example:
