In my Discourse management panel, the ip address of the proxy server appears instead of the ip addresses of all users. This is my proxy server configuration error. Can you help with this?

I have very little technical knowledge and it would be very helpful if you could explain this to an idiot.
Thankyou for help. Respect.

You can start by adding the cloudflare template.you can look in the templates directory for the exact name.

I added “templates/cloudflare.template.yml” to the app.yml file and ran the ./launcher rebuild.app command.
Thanks.
