Hi, We have a new install of discourse (thanks btw). When I look at it addresses in the admin panel, all users are showing an IP address of the server rather than the user. Thoughts on where I should start looking?

That suggests a reverse proxy exists in your installation. How was your server installed? Are you using Cloudflare?

Hi Stephen, you are correct - this is a reverse proxy install. The real IP is sent to nginx in the docker via a different header. Is there a way to match the user’s IP address to the new header vs the default remote_addr?
