You can create a redirect by navigating to the `/create` page and filling out the form. By default, every path passed to Chela will be treated as a redirect except `/` and `/create`.
Chela uses the [axum](https://crates.io/crates/axum) to manage HTTP requests, so it is possible to expose it directly to the outer internet. However, there is no authentication for the `/create` endpoint so anyone will be able to create redirects.
If you would prefer to be the only one able to create redirects, then you can proxy Chela through Nginx with http-basic-auth. Refer to [this](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/) documentation for more information.
