So any veteran who pays attention to meta knows I've been trying to get an image proxy up for fucking forever. An image proxy downloads any images embedded into the site and distributes that content from the server instead of from the source. This does a few things:
1) Protects user IPs from IP loggers.
2) Protects the server IP from IP loggers.
3) Protects against foreign image takedowns (data retention).
4) When someone hotlinks some shitcan site like FunnyJunk, it stops hotlink protection.
