After Web Check Opens

Place Web Check behind HTTPS before exposing it to a team or public network.
Restrict public access with a reverse proxy, VPN, or firewall because the template has no authentication by default.
Consider outbound egress rules because each report makes DNS, HTTP, TLS, and metadata requests against the analyzed target.
Run a harmless test report against a domain you own before using Web Check for operational checks.
Keep the Web Check image updated for dependency and security fixes.

Verified Result

The Web Check web interface loaded successfully from the deployed container.
