hey MaWo,
when i want to connect to https://woll-e.net:9876 i get ssl error

It's a self-signed certificate. I didn't pay money for a CA certificate.  It's only for testing. Please add it to your browser as trusted for woll-e.net.

NFD/NXT uses a brain wallet. That means, you need a very very strong password. There is no wallet file anymore. This password is the private key for your account.
If someone else can guess your password, he will have full control over your account and balance.
It's very important to understand this point.

If you use a NFD/NXT online wallet, you must trust the server admin 100%.

You don't need to keep your browser open. NFD peer software is running in background. What you see under https://woll-e.net:9876/ is a HTML frontend for humans.
You can also download the release file and start your own peer server on your computer. This way you contribute to NFD peer 2 peer network. Overall stability and  security of NFD network will then be better.

As second you can connect to your local, own html frontend (http://localhost:9876/). This way you don't need to trust other server admins.
