Forum question regarding Discuss accounts and IP logging.

OpenSourceHero

Hi,

Like many others in the GOS community I operate under an identity which I use mainly for GOS related stuff.

Just briefly, what members of the GOS team/staff/volunteer etc have access to users IP details in respect to their username? Which members of GOS can access this? Am I allowed to ask this?

Thanks in advance.

I guess I would also like to know which people on the GOS team also have access to Active Sessions info on Discuss, as I notice that exposes a users OS and info there. Passively fingerprinting all users of forum OSes.

Just wanted to say that GrapheneOS forums work just fine over Tor or VPN. I think it makes sense to always assume IP addresses gets logged, if not by the site you visit, so by their hosting provider or the hosting provider's ISP. Any free VPN should be enough to avoid getting your IP logged like that.
