# Advanced
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Advanced settings options are provided for the sake of allowing admins to tune their instance to their liking.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These are set to sensible defaults, so most server admins won't need to touch them or think about them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Changing these settings if you don't know what you're doing may break your instance**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Settings

##### ADVANCED SETTINGS #####
 | 
						|
#############################
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Advanced settings pertaining to http timeouts, security, cookies, and more.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# ONLY ADJUST THESE SETTINGS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# Most users will not need to (and should not) touch these settings, since
 | 
						|
# they are set to sensible defaults, and may break if they are changed.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# Nevertheless, they are provided for the sake of allowing server admins to
 | 
						|
# tweak their instance for performance or security reasons.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# String. Value of the SameSite attribute of cookies set by GoToSocial.
 | 
						|
# Defaults to 'lax' to ensure that the OIDC flow does not break, which is
 | 
						|
# fine in most cases. If you want to harden your instance against CSRF attacks
 | 
						|
# and don't mind if some login-related things might break, you can set this
 | 
						|
# to 'strict' instead.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# For an overview of what this does, see:
 | 
						|
# https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# Options: ["lax", "strict"]
 | 
						|
# Default: "lax"
 | 
						|
advanced-cookies-samesite: "lax"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Int. Amount of requests to permit from a single IP address within a span of 5 minutes.
 | 
						|
# If this amount is exceeded, a 429 HTTP error code will be returned.
 | 
						|
# See https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/swagger/#rate-limit.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# If you find yourself adjusting this limit because it's regularly being exceeded,
 | 
						|
# you should first verify that your settings for `trusted-proxies` (above) are correct.
 | 
						|
# In many cases, when the rate limit is exceeded it is because your instance sees all
 | 
						|
# incoming requests as coming from the *same IP address* (you can verify this by looking
 | 
						|
# at the client IPs in your instance logs). If this is the case, try adding that IP
 | 
						|
# address to your `trusted-proxies` *BEFORE* you go adjusting this rate limit setting!
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# If you set this to 0 or less, rate limiting will be disabled entirely.
 | 
						|
#
 | 
						|
# Examples: [1000, 500, 0]
 | 
						|
# Default: 1000
 | 
						|
advanced-rate-limit-requests: 1000
