Hello, I have this in configuration:

  'trusted_proxies' => 
  array (
    0 => '192.168.78.1',	
    1 => '127.0.0.1',
  ),
  'forwarded_for_headers' => 
  array (
    0 => 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR',
    1 => 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED',
    2 => 'HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR',
    3 => 'HTTP_X_REAL_IP',
  ),
  'bruteforce.whitelist' => '192.168.78.1',

and i still get this error:

Please see: Brute force protection — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

Also, please check for errors/warnings under Administration Settings->Overview (particularly for any proxy related issues).

Lastly, this is not a valid config parameter:

  'bruteforce.whitelist' => '192.168.78.1',

I get the impression that more and more people are just asking ChatGPT instead of reading the documentation.

So far so good, but A.I. is just not intelligent, and most importantly, it does not proactively read the documentation, but only provides its answers based on the data it has been fed, which then leads to it actually making things up if it doesn’t have certain data, probably also based on (too specific) follow-up questions if the first question didn’t produce a working result.

i already have this settings and http_x_forwarded_for is working, but config look right correct, but i still get this error:

 'trusted_proxies' => 
  array (
    0 => '192.168.78.1',	
  ),
  'forwarded_for_headers' => ['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'],
  'allow_local_remote_servers' => true,

sorry, but there is no “Bruteforce IP Whitelist” settings in my instance - i am using APCu and Redis, so it is weird.

ok, i had to enabled bruteforce app in nextcloud, it was not enabled, that why it was giving this error, now it is fixed.
