Hi Discourse community! Am I correct to assume that IP Lookup gets the last IP from the X-Forwarded-For header? Cloudfront seems to be attaching their IP at the end. How would we modify nginx to remove the last IP in the X-Forwarded-For header? We were hoping to get the client IP to prevent spammers. Could anyone please provide help / guidance? Cheers

Just wanted to check if anyone else has a workaround for something like this?

Hi, did you check this? [תמונה] How do you setup Cloudflare? Support Hey, I can’t access that account anymore which is why I am making a fresh topic. I am unaware on how to edit the config to include those lines? All help is appreciated.

Have a look at Run other websites on the same machine as Discourse

I just encounted this problem with Cloudflare when I turned on their proxy. I fixed by changing the Nginx config. You ahve to find all the proxy IP addresses and for each one in the http section: set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20; set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22; set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22; ... Then you can set the real IP from the header passed by Cloudflare: real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP; Since the proxy IP addresses could change, I’ll need to automate pulling and updating these. Then reload/restart nginx with: sv nginx reload or sv nginx restart Argh. I wish I’d seen this post earlier! I’d just spent an hour today re-creating something that was already there: X-Forwarded-For proxy tag not recognized by Discourse?: [תמונה]X-Forwarded-For proxy tag not recognized by Discourse? Take a look at the templates/cloudflare.template.yml file. Basically, you need to insert set_real_ip_from directives

I’d recommend you switch to the built in solution, because it will automatically update the IP list from Cloudflare when you rebuild the site!

It doesn’t sound like it changes very often: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/how-often-do-cloudflare-ips-change/9802/7

2 years is actually more frequently than I assumed. However, the check is so simple that doing it once per day is no problem. Hopefully, they update the list a few days before new IP ranges go active.

It is probably better to set a cron job to check regularly than rely on rebuilds.
