Any decent router is going to block connections from internet to your local network by default. For ollama to be accessible from the outside, they had to allow it explicitly. There's no way to blame ollama for this.

Lots of servers do not, Redis for instance does not have auth by default, and IIRC did not have auth at all for a long time.

Yes, this goes right along with the tried and true Unix philosophy: do everything, poorly. Wait what?

I cannot express how deeply wrong you are about this; a "server system" is not some mandate that it should be production ready for a ton of people on the internet.

This is a program that very different people want or need to try out that just so happens to involve a client-server architecture.

The client-server pattern is frequently used locally.
