gollark: I expect it will end up being yours fairly rapidly.
gollark: Also, I really hope this proxy is *secured* somehow or there will be *problems*.
gollark: I'll try and explain it better then- the quotas at random.org are *presumably* limiting your access to random bits based on your IP - that is, the IP it gets the requests from, not one you specify, that would be silly.- when using your proxy, the requests are coming from the proxy's IP- thus, you should get the quotas from the *same IP* you're contacting random.org from- in the case of your `curl` thing it works, as you're requesting the quota for the same IP you send requests from- this will not be the case if you attempt to fetch the quota for your computer's real IP when it's accessing random.org through the proxy
gollark: **gollark** is typing...
gollark: *But* that's *invalid* if you're going to use the proxy to contact random.org itself.
