## Common questions

### Does Mousehole protect its cookie credential by default?

Mousehole has security features to protect the cookie credential, and most are enabled by default.

### Are the default security settings enough when Mousehole runs on a custom domain or through a proxy?

No, the defaults will not be sufficient if you are running Mousehole on a custom domain or through a proxy.

### Why can a broken network configuration make Mousehole fail?

Mousehole is often placed in configuration-heavy network setups, and if that network configuration is broken, then Mousehole is broken too.

### How should I handle sustained network errors before opening an issue?

Use the network troubleshooting steps to find where the problem actually is before filing an issue.
