community.fhir.org is a discourse site for asking questions about hl7.org/fhir. As such, most questions refer directly to the site. Users are often banned as spammers for excessive external links because of their links to that site, or a couple of others.
Is there a way to whitelist a domain so that users don’t get banned?
I found it. With the current IP limits, some of our customers will be blocked from posting. Can I use this to whitelist a domain? For example, allow anyone from @sony.com to post from the same IP.
I don’t know of a good solution. For a client that had many of his users all attend the same conference on the same NAT network, we just upped the rate limits. I imagine if you’re clever you could modify the nginx config inside the container to exempt that IP from the rate limits.
I have no idea how to do that, just a good imagination.
But. . . .here’s this in teh discourse.conf. I guess you’d Google Nginx and figure out how to add a line like that for the other address.
