Hello opicron!

On 21 Apr 2025, opicron said the following...

Thanks! Yes, the proxying of "everything" is most likely why dlreq thinks everything is OK. (In my case I get a different IP for Telnet vs dlreq/web.)

 op> I believe it is, I vaguely remember having to do some IP forward some
 op> time ago. Wasn't it with x-headers? x-forward?

Yep, X-Forwarded-For and similar ones, although it depends on the receiver (in this case dlreq, or the Mystic web server) to trust it, which it doesn't...

 op> Hope it will be as easy as I had it. Didnt even know that dlreq
 op> validated the IP :).

Actually, I asked g00r00 if it would be possible to turn the IP validation off in some future version (and perhaps also to change the URL displayed inside Mystic, e.g. http:// to https:// and changing/removing the port number), but I'm pretty sure the wishlist for Mystic is long already...

Thanks again!

Best regards
Zip
