Brute force behind a reverse proxy

  • Hello,

    My wordpress is behind a reverse proxy. How configure this brute force plugin with this configuration ?
    For the moment, i see my RP IP address and not my client IP address.
    X-FORWARD-FO ?

    Thanks

  • If you run an Apache server, and you have access to the config files, you should use the RemoteIPHeader directive:
    RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
    Look here for more details on how to use this directive correctly:
    https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_remoteip.html
    I found that, with this directive in place, the plugin works well without any modification – as long as you do not use an Ajax modal login.
