How do I recover true user IPs?

I am using a Discourse container that is using Cloudflare for performance and security. However, I am encountering a problem: User IPs are not what they really are.

This is most likely Cloudflare’s fault, but there are solutions to this issue. What is the “official” tutorial for fixing this problem?

I don’t know about Official - but a relevant post would be this one:

This did the trick, thanks!

You should now transition to the official cloudflare.template.yml file, which will stay updated when CloudFlare acquires new IPs.
