They stay Pending forever.
In settings-system-debug I get the following message, which I really don’t know how to fix:

IP address

PeerTube thinks your web browser public IP is **10.0.1.1**.

If this is not your correct public IP, please consider fixing it because:

* Views may not be counted correctly (reduced compared to what they should be)
* Anti brute force system could be overzealous
* P2P system could not work correctly

To fix it:

* Check the `trust_proxy` configuration key

May it have to do something with it?

Here is the log (password:‹ peertube ›)

Have you checked https://example.org/admin/settings/system/debug to see if it sees your public IP-Address??

IF it do not recognize your public IP, then retry this documentation Architecture | PeerTube documentation to check that the trust_proxy are matching your connection from the frontend to peertube.

Standard values are

# Proxies to trust to get real client IP
# If you run PeerTube just behind a local proxy (nginx), keep 'loopback'
# If you run PeerTube behind a remote proxy, add the proxy IP address (or subnet)
trust_proxy:
  - 'loopback

And the note: PeerTube do not « Allow » RFC1918 addresses as valid. (See: Peertube Federation error: The IP of the domain is reserved - #2 par AndreyKAZ)

Yes, I checked it! in fact it is what I posted at the beggining of the post,

PeerTube thinks your web browser public IP is **10.0.1.1**.

which obviously isn’t
might it be because I have a wireguard VPS configuration with a remote machine (that gives me the public IP) in order to enable port forwarding?

so, I am not sure what to do… I replaced loopback with my public IP
now I get

PeerTube thinks your web browser public IP is **127.0.0.1**.
