Is there a way to stop Drupal from tracking or collecting IP addresses of visitors? The specific need case is for a site that wishes to be able to say no identifying information is kept of visitors (it sounds seedier than it actually is).
I recognize that Apache logs are going to do this, and that will need to be handled separately, but I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent this in Drupal (or if you have suggestions on how to obfuscate incoming visitor IPs, that would be helpful as well)
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = '4.3.2.1';
. Drupal won't know/care that it hasn't received the real IP. If you wanted to obfuscate instead, you could do it there too – Clive♦ Oct 9 '16 at 16:50
