Can categories be viewed by others who don't have the access authority?

I really like the discourse system. So I made a small discourse forum only for my own use. And it has only one user (Me) and forbiddens any viewing without an account. I write my personal notes there so I’m really don’t want others to read.

Also I have some hidden categories that only the moderator can view (That’s only me).

But when I see the basics about the discourse system, I found there are a few anonymous viewing and some unlogged in viewing. Is is right? Will my secrets be revealed?

Put your browser into incognito mode (or equivalent) and you should be able to see what an anonymous user sees.

Did you require login and disable new account creation?

yes, I had. Only by invitation and requires login to read anything.

I tried not logging in, can only see the logo of the forum.

Isn’t that what you wanted?

Perhaps you want to make a normal user account. It will see only the categories that it has permission to read.

Hi, yes that is what I wanted. I don’t want any one read my own discourse as a notebook of mine.

But Why I see

The anonymous view is

I’m wondering why there is anonymous viewers?

When someone hits your Login page (yourself probably) it counts as one anon pageview.
