Key rate limits on client IP only; configurable trusted proxy count - #42

Conversation
The throttling identifier included a hash of User-Agent and Accept-Language, so varying a header gave an attacker a fresh failure counter. ProxyFix also always trusted one X-Forwarded-For hop, letting anyone who can reach the port directly forge their IP. docker-compose now publishes on 127.0.0.1 by default.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe app configures trusted proxy handling from environment or INI settings. Docker Compose and the documented Docker commands use a configurable published bind address. Throttling identifiers use the client IP alone. Tests cover header variation, the request limit, and configuration precedence. ChangesProxy configuration and IP rate limiting
Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The configured behavior currently selects zero, but the regression test could miss some incorrect counts. This is a limited test gap; the PR remains mergeable with that weakness tracked. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to The narrower network binding and header-independent rate-limit keys improve security. However, the new shared IP key lets an ordinary door-authorized user reset administrator password failure counters between guesses. This weakens the administrator authentication boundary even when proxy settings are correct. Retained concerns

Assert the exact trusted proxy count.
If app.TRUSTED_PROXIES is 10, this assertion passes because "10" ends in "0". That result would hide a failure of the environment override. Compare the printed value with "0" exactly.

Pure move, no behaviour change. It put the block right after the line #42 removes (the ProxyFix wrapper), which made the two PRs conflict; now they merge cleanly in either order.

Problem
Brute-force limits could be sidestepped in two ways:
ip + hash(User-Agent + Accept-Language) % 10000. Changing a header minted a fresh failure counter on every request.ProxyFix(x_for=1)always trustedX-Forwarded-For, anddocker-compose.ymlpublished the port on all interfaces. Anyone who could reach the port directly could forge their IP, which also defeats the admin-password limiter.Changes
