{YOURLS} Making "shortening" interface private

Question

I've installed YOURLS on my server and it has public interface installed by default. There's no log-in option when I access it (shortening interface - not the admin area which is password protected). I checked the settings and they all look OK to me, I'm just not sure how to create a private url shortener with no public access.

Is this possible at all? How to set it up to have URLs shortened only for my purposes, without possible spam etc caused by for instance various bots.

Many thanks for any answer.

My settings:

define( 'YOURLS_DB_PREFIX', 'n1hf_' );
define( 'YOURLS_SITE', 'http://****.net/s' );
define( 'YOURLS_HOURS_OFFSET', 0 ); 
define( 'YOURLS_LANG', '' ); 
define( 'YOURLS_UNIQUE_URLS', true );
define( 'YOURLS_PRIVATE', true );
define( 'YOURLS_COOKIEKEY', '*******' );
$yourls_user_passwords = array( 
'admin' => 'phpass:*******************',  
'userX' => 'phpass:*******************'
);
define( 'YOURLS_DEBUG', false );
define( 'YOURLS_URL_CONVERT', 36 );

Just use a redirect via your hosting or cloudflare to redirect from your where your YOURLS is installed, like in http://****.net/s Redirect it to other website
