            Bug ID: 54783
           Summary: Respect X-Forwarded-For only from trustworthy sources
           Product: Analytics
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Kraken
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected],

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

We unconditionally respect the X-Forwarded-For header that gets fed into
kraken's machineries. Regardless of whether the client IP is a trusted one,
or it is not a trusted one. This distorts our reports/graphs.

Instead, we should only respect the X-Forwarded-For header for the client IPs
in $wgSquidServersNoPurge in wmf-config/squid.php of
operations/mediawiki-config.
