I thought about upper service but as is not required at the moment,
introducing extra hop just to remove the header looks a bit like a hammer
approach. I'll look into how easily I can amend the code as the other
option is to introduce a proxy like a feature to the application, so either
way, it is a code change. The only problem here is that it's an OPNSense
squid service so I have to compile from source on BSD and then keep adding
in manually each time they do the update.
