For privacy, GDRP compliance, data collection minimization purposes, I’ve disabled IP logs on my server. Discourse doesn’t get to see any IP addresses.

```plaintext
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP 127.0.0.1;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For 127.0.0.1;

```

This is confirmed using discourse admin. No IPs can be seen for my user profile in admin mode.  
Is discourse behind a reverse proxy? Yes. Behind nginx.

Also my forum has an onion domain mirror where it would be impossible to get any IP addresses.

That used to work great but now I am getting more and more error messages.

> 429 Too Many Requests

I guess discourse uses some kind of IP based rate limiting? But shouldn’t that exclude `127.0.0.1`? How to disable this kind of rate limiting?

Remove the `web.ratelimited` template at the top of you app.yml file and rebuild.
