TL;DR
User is having trouble with a function that is giving unexpected results when trying to fetch the locale. They are concerned about unauthorized users abusing the function and want to restrict its execution. Another user suggests setting execute permissions on the function to limit access. A question is asked about installing Appwrite using the docker install command, but it is not clear if the user had done so. The user clarifies that they did not use a VPN and are accessing Appwrite through a physical device and VPS server. They confirm that Appwrite is not installed locally where the emulator is running and do not have a reverse proxy in front of Appwrite. No

Is Appwrite installed locally where the emulator is running?

Yes, appwrite is deployed on a vps server

Drake

And the Android emulator is on that vps server?

polbuhanky

No, it's physical device

Are you connecting to Appwrite through a VPN?

I'm curious what the 172.18 network is...

Did you install Appwrite using the docker install command?

locale.get() fetches the current clients locale so this result is expected

Drake

The current client is the function

Is there a way to restrict the executes of a specific function? The function calls sms and it will be bad if someone abuses it

Drake

Set execute permissions on the function

polbuhanky
2 Nov, 2023, 21:49

I mean to reduce count of execution per minute

Drake
2 Nov, 2023, 21:50

Keep track of the count and then don't call the API got the sms

polbuhanky
2 Nov, 2023, 21:51

But if they spam for different phone numbers?

Drake
2 Nov, 2023, 21:54

And?

polbuhanky
2 Nov, 2023, 21:56

The fact is that this function is available to unauthorized users. I can only limit it to guests only (anonymous sessions). Therefore, I cannot save the id of the user who called the function

Drake

sorry, can't help you there
