CloudFlare Altering User IP Reporting?


Joy Rex

Recommended Posts

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?

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.
