I would like to create two forum using discourse.  
I’m thinking about doing this by installing with multiple method

Can I assign different ip to each forum so that google/inquisitive eyes do not know that they are related to each other?

Yes. If the server has multiple ips (or you use something like a digitalocean elastic ip) you could do that.

If you know how to run a reverse proxy and can follow [Set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-discourse-on-a-server-with-existing-apache-sites/30013). There’s a similar topic for NGINX sites.
