Reverse proxy for Discourse | Real IP masking

Actually, I’m talking about the above. A URL can be created with the help of the tool available at “iplogger.org”. When you take this URL and place it in the thread in the discourse forum, you can learn the real IP address of the server. Because the VPS where discourse is installed is making a direct request to the connection placed inside the topic. This allows the server’s real IP address to be exposed.

In the topic below, it says that a proxy server should be set up for outgoing requests from the server.
