I want to do something like this in discourse: set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1; set_real_ip_from 1.2.3.4; real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For; real_ip_recursive on; Normally I would do it in an nginx.conf file. However with discourse, I don’t know what to do. Can someone help me?

It seems I got it fixed by adding another template named customip.template.yml and adding it to app.yml. I organized the content of the template like the following run: - file: path: /tmp/add-custom-ips chmod: +x contents: | #!/bin/bash -e # Add list of custom i…

I’ll write my solution I used earlier. In the containers/app.yml See the templates that’re inserted Goto containers/templates Copy the name of the cloudflare.template.yml Now edit the app.yml Insert “template/cloudflare.template.yml” Save it, now ./launcher app rebuild

Does this works with the set up where web sockets are used?

To be specific, my installation is running behind a nginx proxy as described here is it possible to enable the cloudflare template?

My use case is that I have a php file for login/sign-up using api calls and it is in one of my servers. Assuming that the public IP of that server is 1.2.3.4, all IPs inside discourse is reported to be also 1.2.3.4. And it would pass all limits very soon.

Not quite sure, but Google “nginx reverse proxy pass client ip”

[immagine] pfaffman: Google “nginx reverse proxy pass client ip” I know about this part. I just don’t know how to implement it in discourse nginx. There is a template for cloudflare ips. but there is not a template for custom ips or any instructions, as far as I know.

Looks good to me, you highlight the super important fact there that you can not just trust any IP address with that header, cause if you did, user IPs can be spoofed. An alternative I have seen (that we use in haproxy) is setting the IP only if we see some top secret header that we have the CDN alw…

Sorry but as far as I know its for cloudflare IPs. However, I have my own IP. And even if I would change this file for a little, I don’t know if my changes would be overwritten in future or not.
