…ses. This prevents a person with an entire /64 subnet from exhausting the storage or getting more than their fair share of the tokens. ## Implementation Converts a string-based IP address into a binary string, then zeros the first 64 bits in that string and re-encodes it as a human-readable IP string. ## Testing instructions Run unit tests ```php php ./packages/playground/website-deployment/tests.php ``` cc @brandonpayton for reviews

Rate-limits the CORS proxy requests based on the first 64 bits of an IPv6 address, not all 128 bits. This prevents a person with an entire /64 subnet from exhausting the storage or getting more than their fair share of the tokens. This only applies to IPv6. For IPv4 addresses, all 64 bits are still considered.
Implementation
Converts a string-based IP address into a binary string, then zeros the first 64 bits in that string and re-encodes it as a human-readable IP string.
