L’ho scritto con l’aiuto di una traduzione. Mi scuso per l’errore di battitura. Il mio inglese non è molto buono.

Inoltre, dopo aver messo cloudflare davanti al VPS, l’indirizzo IP del server è mascherato. Non c’è problema qui.

Tuttavia, la richiesta in uscita dal server mostra l’indirizzo IP. “[https://iplogger.org/](https://iplogger.org/)” fa molto bene il lavoro di esporre l’indirizzo IP.

Se ciò è dovuto a una configurazione errata, sarebbe fantastico sapere come risolverlo.

Una guida end-to-end aiuterà molte persone.

The email issue was resolved by setting up a SMTP relay that strips headers (if the user pulls email headers to get the IP, they get the relay and not the forum’s IP). Is there a way to make the link previews go through a proxy server?

Rispetto.
