Hello, is it possble to configure Keycloak to not collect IP Addresses? The docs only seem to show possibilities to collect more data, we would like to collect less data. [https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server\_admin/#\_personal\_data](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#_personal_data) Thanks! ---

I don’t know if there’s a builtin setting for this but if you put it behind a reverse proxy and don’t pass the requester IP that should cover this, then omit the IP in the reverse proxy logs. ---

If you don’t forward the IPs properly when working behind a proxy, Keycloak may not work reliable as it needs a proper IP-chain in the `X-Forwarded-For` header, when working behind a proxy.
