If you have your site behind a proxy
Hi guys
I'm getting this message
If you have your site behind a proxy (ie CloudFlare) then you must ensure that you have
your server and site correctly configured.
I cant get a new api Key. I'm not behind a proxy. Any idea why I'm getting this?

Re: If you have your site behind a proxy
I think you need to find a better ISP , this just scratches the surface:

Re: If you have your site behind a proxy
Good catch, I did not notice it was a copy/paste job, and when I checked the IP it is/was not listed, but when I checked the hosting/ISP, I had my suspicions, but still , some one that did not know better could have been using the ISP/hosting, and it was pretty obvious, that would be why they could not get a API key, .....thanks Oblivian

Re: If you have your site behind a proxy
Unless people have a very good reason (or know how), there shouldn't a reason to be coming from an IP on a cloud computing or VPS cluster.
I mean, remoting into a PC on the cloud to come back and do text based forum browsing from a different IP range? Resource overkill
Find it almost always means they have a server spun up doing bad things. Real users at home wouldn't bother.

Re: If you have your site behind a proxy
I mean maybe...I hate to play devil's advocate but I do have a lot of friends who are ultra-paranoid and VPN for just about all things online lately. I don't know if it's a good practice to automatically assume VPN = bad guy anymore. Especially with chrome now logging all the things and literally tasked to reporting back to google now.
That being said, good catch of course.

Re: If you have your site behind a proxy
Well, even though similar to VPN's, not everyone using a tor-browser is a bad guy, but some times it is necessary to keep the doors locked, so the bad guys don't just walk in. I was trying out this tor-browser, and it will be fine for my purpose, but just now found out even though I logged in OK, I could not post,...the IP the tor-browser used is listed here. Tell your paranoid buddies , they will just have to learn to be upfront and go in the front door, after the security guard approves and let's them in.
