    Hi, great plugin! however i cannot enable Forbid proxy comment posting because WP is a docker behind nginx proxy, with Cloudflare on top. That means all IPs are translated with CF-X-smth etc, you know

    That also triggers a 403 when I enable Forbid proxy comment posting.

    Are you aware of this? Is there a solution? If there is not, would you please considfer updating the +More Info text to highlight that this is incompatible with Cloudflare + reverse proxy?

    Hi @audioscavenger,

    If you have set up WP using docker and nginx proxy server with Cloudflare.

    It might be below if any $_SERVER variable will match and the comment posted so it is considered as posted from the proxy

    Can you cross-check which of these variables you get as the server environment?

    you may use phpinfo() to cross-check it. I will create internal ticket for this also.

    'HTTP_VIA',
'HTTP_FORWARDED',
'HTTP_USERAGENT_VIA',
'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR',
'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST',
'HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION',
'HTTP_XPROXY_CONNECTION',
'HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR',
'HTTP_CLIENT_IP',

    Regards
