Yesterday I changed the logging behaviour of my nginx. I did this to make it more privacy friendly and to declutter my log files. \
The ip address anonymization part is taken from [Ascraues Privacy Policy ](https://ascraeus.org/page/privacy/).
```
map $remote_addr $anon_remote_addr {
~(?P<ip>\d+\.\d+)\. $ip.0.0;
~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+): $ip::;
default 0.0.0.0;
}
log_format privacy '$anon_remote_addr [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $bytes_sent ';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log privacy;
```
