## PR-Codex overview
This PR focuses on enhancing the connection limiting functionality by
ignoring local loopback IP traffic and modifying a test case.

### Detailed summary
- Updated `rateLimits.ts` to ignore both `127.0.0.1` and `::1` for local
loopback traffic.
- Changed the connection limit check in `server.ts` to exclude local IPs
from the limit enforcement.
- Modified the test in `eventService.test.ts` to skip the test case for
excessive subscriptions.
