I went ahead and took action on the criticism as soon as I saw the parent comment. All apache access logs are piped to /dev/null now.

I'm not here to debate, the reason I posted here is to hear what people thought and see how I could improve my platform based on the criticism.

Look into the Apache module called mod-remove-IP, it's old and hasn't had any changes for years, but it works much better than just disabling in the logs because it will also persist those removals throughout any frameworks. Also with Apache you cannot as easily destroy your error logs which sometimes have IPS in them. Consider nginx as an alternative

Consider Caddy as an alternative. Nginx is no better. Both Apache httpd and nginx are old and don’t support newer protocols like HTTP/3. Maybe I’m wrong.

Another issue is with Apache httpd’s routing. Removing the IP messes up routing sometimes when using mod_rewrite.

Sure they do:

https://nginx.org/en/docs/quic.html

https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/http3/

well damn... old dog new tricks. Maybe it's my distro that's old.

I appreciate your opinion on anonymity, but, it's nothing more than, "trust me bro". And being a US company that further tingles the spidy sense.

The US isn't the sole transgressor against privacy. EU has made that pretty clear in the last month.

What happened in the last month? Genuine question

Look up Chat Control.

Chat Control was first proposed in 2022 and is still in parliament. Some try to push it through again and again but it gets blocked. I don’t see why it should be different this time and so far nothing has actually changed for EU citizens.
