Private networking - CORS?
I connect to my backend via private networking. Currently, I've allowed all origins, but I'd like to tighten it up. I'm not sure if there's a correct/dynamic way to do this in Railway, though.

The private network is only accessible internally, there wouldn't be much point doing that cause no one else can access it anyway

Okay, thanks!
Also, cors is absolutely pointless outside of browsers
This is inside a browser đź‘Ť but question answered
how would someone's browser access something via the private network?
By making a POST request through JS. This whole thing was an issue of dev env not matching deployment. Like I said, it’s fixed now
Then I must be misunderstanding something, its a private network, someone's browser can not make a request to a private domain, it would not be a very private network if you could
It was my misunderstanding. I needed to disable CORS in local dev (allow my localhost, really). When I uploaded to railway, the page refused to render, citing mixed HTTP/HTTPS. I fixed that by using a reverse proxy and didn’t stop to think I was no longer doing a request from the browser in the first place 👍
well as long as it works now!
