# Dashboard (Control UI)

The Gateway dashboard is the browser Control UI served at `/ui/`.

Key references:
- `docs/control-ui.md` for usage and UI capabilities.
- `docs/tailscale.md` for Serve/Funnel automation.
- `docs/web.md` for bind modes and security notes.

Authentication is enforced at the WebSocket handshake via `connect.params.auth`
(token or password). See `gateway.auth` in `docs/configuration.md`.
