Hello, I get the following error-Messages after a check with: sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/occ setupchecks … System: Brute force throttling: Your remote address could not be determined. … Security: Forwarded for headers: Your remote address could not be determined. … Nextcloud is accessed behind a reverse proxy (Apache) and works completely in my opinion. Unfortunately, I don’t really have an idea where to start when looking for the solution. Does anyone here have a tip for me? Regards Tony ---

> [@tony.blue](#): > > sudo -u www-data php /var/www/html/occ setupchecks This is because there is no remote address when you run the setup checks from the command line. Check from the Web UI if you want that check to run. ---

How can I access occ without a command line? I found the OCC Web App via Google. However, this does not work with Nextcloud 31. ---

I guess it doesn’t make much sense to run the `Brute-force Throttle` and `Forward for headers` checks from CLI then. Maybe they should be skipped when running `setupchecks` via `occ` commad, just like the PHP opcache check: ```auto ✓ PHP opcache: Checking from CLI, OPcache checks have been skipped. ``` ---
