 Response:
 
 	200 OK
 
+`anonymize_client_ip`:
+1. New log entries written to a log file will contain modified client IP addresses.  Note that there's no way to obtain the full IP address later for these entries.
+2. `GET /control/querylog` response data will contain modified client IP addresses (masked /24 or /112).
+3. Searching by client IP won't work for the previously stored entries.
+
+How `anonymize_client_ip` affects Stats:
+1. After AGH restart, new stats entries will contain modified client IP addresses.
+2. Existing entries are not affected.
