Privacy Issue - Viewing member profiles?

Hi there, I'm really enjoying FC so far, but I have a pretty big privacy concern. I have set the option for "Who can view all members page" to "Only logged-in members", which I would think makes member visibility not accessible to the public.

However as a non-logged in user, I am still able to publicly access an individual user's profile page using the link: https://example.com/portal/u/username.

I understand that this may not technically be a bug, but it does seem like a privacy concern as members of the community aren't able to be anonymous. And in turn, I don't feel comfortable advertising my community as anonymous because these pages could be accessible. Can this be addressed?

I just checked mine for this and it is not possible to see the profile as a guest. I am using a content protection plugin so that may be the solution to this problem.

J VΒ Yeah even if that's the case, I would think the expected functionality would prevent viewing member profiles, or at least have an option to restrict access.

What's the name of the plugin you're using?

Shahjahan JewelΒ Any acknowledgement if this is a feature or a bug, or something the team will address?
