Joy Rex Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So I am using CloudFlare for my DNS/caching, and it's working out great. However, when investigating a potential duplicate member issue my Mods and I discovered that many users were showing up under the same IP which resolves back to CloudFlare. So is CloudFlare messing with my user IP accuracy, and would this be a way to resolve it? https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170916-Why-should-I-install-mod-cloudflare- Any advice/education is appreciated!

You'll need to enable the "Trust IP addresses provided by proxies" if you're using a proxy server (which Cloudflare effectively is). Search for 'proxy' in the AdminCP to locate the setting.

Joy Rex Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Okay, I've done so - I'm assuming this will only start reporting correct IPs going forward now that setting has been turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
