Support intro

I’ve seen similar errors from much older versions of NC. Some have no solutions, some have solutions possibly related to apps that we are not using. Started seeing this after upgrading Nextcloud from version 24 to 25

I’m having the same issues. The nice thing is that my Nextcloud is a test instance that no one but myself has access.

After trying multiple things with no success, I noticed one thing. All the errors that I see are from IP addresses that aren’t mine.
