Following this example https://www.ory.sh/login-spa-react-nextjs-authentication-example-api-open-source/ i have implemented login and signup in next js and it works, but if the user has not login but if they type the route address in browser they are still directed to that page, any solution for this.

Hi, you need to check that the user is logged in through a route guard or before the component is rendered. Another solution is to add a reverse proxy in front of your application that checks if the user is authenticated (has a session cookie) before forwarding to a route on your app other than login/signup

any documentation link for route gaurd?

Basically this section does that https://www.ory.sh/login-spa-react-nextjs-authentication-example-api-open-source/#react-hook-to-find-out-if-a-user-is-authenticated github code but only for the home page

Thank you!

this uses the cloud since you most likely exported

# If you run Ory Kratos in Ory Cloud:
export ORY_SDK_URL=<https://my-project.projects.oryapis.com>

i did not use this export statement of any kind just cloned the project and it is working

per default it exports that and uses

<https://playground.projects.oryapis.com>

Got it Thank you.
