## HTTP-Server
When running PairDrop, the `X-Forwarded-For` header has to be set by a proxy. Otherwise, all clients will be mutually visible.
To check if your setup is configured correctly [use the environment variable `DEBUG_MODE="true"`](#debug-mode).
### Using nginx
#### Allow http and https requests
