This is probably too spicy in my opinion. Deployed as it is, we would bypass custom reverse proxies, which would not be acceptable.

Because reverse proxies now rewrite the host header (a change we asked for), we won't be able to detect that in django and must handle it client side. You could overwrite this.config.api_host if the configured value end with .posthog.com, but not respecting a user-given config still makes me nervous.
