When a user is signed into the forum under an IPV6 address their IP shows up as 127.0.0.1 in the administrator panel. [image] This is using the latest version.

[image] Gulshan_Kumar: I couldn’t try successfully above method. Site appears down. same effect here. How did you solve the problem?

Hey @adorfer I fixed this problem by keeping only A record with IPV4 address, and removing AAAA record which had IPV6 address.

“disabling ipv6/AAAA on the forum”: That’s no option here for us. Any other suggestions what i can check/try/test?

Check Discourse with jwilder/nginx-proxy howtos? for an example of how to set set_real_ip_from.

I understand: i have to put manally an nginx as reverse proxy in front of discourse? (So it’s not feasable by “discourse itself”?)

No. You add to the app.yml to have those changes made inside the container. Edit: See section that says [image] Discourse with jwilder/nginx-proxy howtos? To fix discourse not getting the real IP from the host nginx, add this to your app.yml : I think you want to add something like set_real_…

But for that i need at least the initial statement for an nginx proxy to be installed in the system as multi server loadbalancing setup (as i understand the howto above) or in other words: i no even have the stuff “to replace in the app.yaml”. perhaps i should look for some kind of “more complex i…

Just in order to bump this thread: Does anybody haven an idea what i could try out or test? I have 3 different Discourse-Installations, on different machines and different ubuntu-versions (just for notice), with IPv6 enabled, and on all of them it’s the same: IPv6-users are reported with an RFC19…

Sadly the same for me. Installing without Docker results in broken IPv6 (Welcome to nginx), with Docker results in the named error. IPv6 would need to be redone without NAT, if you don’t have any idea for a workarround.

I’ve just noticed that the IP addresses for a lot of members on my forum are being stored as 172.17.0.1. I’m not running a reverse proxy or anything - there’s nothing between you and Discourse’s Docker. Any ideas?
