The configuration you are looking for is explained step by step here:

- [https://docs.konghq.com/0.14.x/auth/#anonymous-access](https://docs.konghq.com/0.14.x/auth/#anonymous-access)

The gist is:

> To configure a Service like this, you first apply your selected authentication plugin, then create a new consumer to represent annonymous users, then configure your authentication plugin to allow anonymous access.
