@ -107,9 +107,9 @@ This is to prevent a malicious client from forging these headers::
When the Gunicorn host is completely firewalled from the external network such
that all connections come from a trusted proxy (e.g. Heroku) this value can
be set to '*'. Using this value is **potentially dangerous** if connections to
Gunicorn may come from outside the network as clients can use this header to
forge the IP address Gunicorn sees, circumventing application rate limits and
reporting incorrect addresses in log files.
Gunicorn may come from untrusted proxies or directly from clients since the
application may be tricked into serving SSL-only content over an insecure
connection.
