-My Reverse Proxy Sends X-Forwarded-For but Does not Filter the Forwarded Header
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Many popular proxy implementations do not yet support the ``Forwarded`` header
-and do not filter it by default. Ideally, you would configure this in your
-proxy. If this is not possible, you can tell Symfony to distrust the ``Forwarded``
-header, while still trusting your proxy's ``X-Forwarded-For`` header.
-
-This is done inside of your front controller::
-
-       // web/app.php

-       Request::setTrustedHeaderName(Request::HEADER_FORWARDED, null);
-
-       $response = $kernel->handle($request);
-       // ...
-
-Configuring the proxy server trust is very important, as not doing so will
-allow malicious users to "spoof" their IP address.
-
-My Reverse Proxy Uses Non-Standard (not X-Forwarded) Headers
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Although `RFC 7239`_ recently defined a standard ``Forwarded`` header to disclose
-all proxy information, most reverse proxies store information in non-standard
-``X-Forwarded-*`` headers.
-
-But if your reverse proxy uses other non-standard header names, you can configure
-these (see ":doc:`/components/http_foundation/trusting_proxies`").
-
-The code for doing this will need to live in your front controller (e.g. ``web/app.php``).
