Real vistor’s ip + Cloudflare?

  • Hi.

    Will this plugin make it so a WordPress site can be proxied with Cloudflare, yet still serve up the visitors real IP (instead of Cloudflare IP’s) for added functionality via the website?

    Normally it seems the “proxy protocol” would be needed with Cloudflare to do this (but it’s only available in Cloudflare’s Enterprise Edition).

    Another method seems to be Nginx restore real IP address with the ngx_http_realip_module … (https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/nginx-restore-real-ip-address-when-behind-a-reverse-proxy/) not sure if this does something similar?

    Thank you.

    Hi @pauluap,
    We do not do any tinkering with IPs. If you are using Cloudflare then the Cloudflare IPs will be shown. But you can enable the Nginx reverse proxy module on your own and experiment with it to see if it does what you what it to do. This is a pure page caching plugin, we don’t do anything with IPs.
