Private BuddyPress

1. 

   Settings page, you can find it under Settings -> Privacy

Can I exclude the homepage, the registration or blog pages from protection?

Yes, you can define the excludes on the settings page unter Settings -> Privacy.

Can I change the URL where non-loggedin users are being redirected?

Yes, currently you need to write a filter function in your functions.php.

function redirect_nonloggedin_users($current_uri, $redirect_to) {
    // Redirect users to the homepage
    // Caution! Exclude the homepage from 'Private BuddyPress' options
    // to avoid redirection loops!
    return get_option('siteurl') . '/?from=' . $redirect_to;
}

add_filter('pbp_redirect_login_page', 'redirect_nonloggedin_users', 10, 2);

Can I exclude e.g. the blog directory from protection?

Yes, you need to write a filter:

function make_blog_directory_visible($visibility) {
    global $bp;

    if ( bp_is_directory() && $bp->current_component == $bp->blogs->slug )
        return false;

    return $visibility;
}

add_filter('pbp_login_required_check', 'make_blog_directory_visible');
