Is there a way to protect my global routes in laravel?

@tykus I tried this I am facing this 127.0.0.1 redirected you too many times.

Can you show how you used the guest middleware?

@tykus I have these routes as public

Route::middleware(['guest'])->group(function () {
   // pages
    Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('index');
    Route::view('/about', "frontend.pages.about")->name('about');
    Route::get('/match-detail/{match}', [PageController::class, 'matchDetail'])->name('matchDetail');
});

my sales admin routes

Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth' , 'user.sales-admin'], 'as' => 'salesadmin.'], function () {
    // pages
    Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('index');
    Route::view('/about', "sales-admin.frontend.pages.about")->name('about')
});

@tinkerbell you have duplicate routes (/ and /about) defined, why?

@tykus if the user login as sales admin the route for about and index is working like that I forget to mention I have

'prefix' =>'salesadmin' in my salesadmin routes ​​

https://mywebsite.com/salesadmin
https://mywebsite.com/salesadmin/about

public or guest users can see like

https://mywebsite.com
https://mywebsite.com/about

@tinkerbell if you also add the following to the AppServiceProvider, it will automatically sign out the authenticated user.

RedirectIfAuthenticated::redirectUsing(function ($request) {
    auth()->logout();
    return redirect($request->path);
});

This is not the best UX, so you might want to confirm the signing out action before it is done

@tykus I have come up with an approach by creating another middleware to redirect the sales admin to his URL (www.mywebsite.com.salesadmin) whenever he hits the root URL I think that one is simpler
