User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: Why is publishing Traefik dashboard using an Ingress less secure then using IngressRoute according to the documentation?
Assistant: Publishing the Traefik dashboard using an Ingress is considered less secure than using an IngressRoute primarily due to the level of control and customization that IngressRoute offers. 

1. **Advanced Security Features**: IngressRoute allows for more granular control over routing and the application of middlewares, which can be used to implement security measures such as authentication, whitelisting, and rate limiting.

2. **TLS Configuration**: IngressRoute can provide more straightforward management of TLS settings, ensuring that traffic to the dashboard is encrypted and secure.

3. **Specific Middleware**: With IngressRoute, you can easily apply specific middlewares (like authentication or header modification) that would typically be more complex to implement using a standard Ingress resource.

4. **Better Targeting and Flexibility**: IngressRoute is designed to work specifically with Traefik's features, allowing for better integration with services that require additional security measures.

In summary, the use of IngressRoute is generally more secure because it enables you to leverage Traefik's full capabilities to lock down access to the dashboard more effectively compared to the standard Ingress resource.
User: So it's not inherently less secure, more like it depends on the usage?
Assistant: Yes, that's correct. The security of publishing the Traefik dashboard largely depends on how you configure the Ingress or IngressRoute. While using an Ingress by itself is not inherently less secure, it typically offers fewer features and less control over security aspects compared to IngressRoute.

If you properly configure an Ingress with necessary security measures (like TLS, authentication, and suitable rules), it can be made secure. However, IngressRoute is designed with more advanced security features, making it generally easier and more straightforward to enforce security practices without extensive additional configuration. So, the choice between them often comes down to the specific requirements of your setup and how well you implement security practices within that choice.
User: So if I put it behind an auth middleware and enable https, i should be good?
