FAQ

Using behind a reverse proxy

In order to retrieve a client IP address we use request-ip library. Please check its documentation and make sure that your reverse proxy passes at least one of required headers containing client's IP address.

Why did you name a package after a war criminal?

So that people never forget who is responsible for all this.

And because it's way more catchy than express-stop-russian-invasion-on-ukraine.
