[Answered] CloudFlare and IP Address

[M.Rizk]

Hi everybody,

​

​

​I need help getting my vBulletin 4.2.1 to show the real IP Addresses instead of my host IP (CloudFlare Partner). I have tried to use a plugin on vBulletin.org called Proxy to Real IP I think it only worked for a day, or maybe never but not working at all now. Please help

Edit your config.php file in the includes folder, check the "reverse proxy IP" section.

I tried everything but nothing working.

I added this to the top of config.php:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"] ? $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"] : $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

I also edited the part you mentioned to:
/* #### Reverse Proxy IP ####
If your use a system where the main IP address passed to vBulletin is the address of a proxy server
and the actual 'real' ip address is passed in another http header then you enter the details here */

/* Enter your known [trusted] proxy servers here. You can list multiple trusted IPs separated by a comma.*/
//$config['Misc']['proxyiplist'] = '127.0.0.1, 75.98.175.8, 204.93.240.0, 204.93.177.0, 199.27.128.0, 173.245.48.0, 103.21.244.0, 103.22.200.0, 103.31.4.0, 141.101.64.0, 108.162.192.0, 190.93.240.0, 188.114.96.0, 197.234.240.0, 198.41.128.0';

/* If the real IP is passed in a http header variable other than HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, then you can set the name here; */
//$config['Misc']['proxyipheader'] = 'HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP';

Remove the // in front of the $config['Misc']['proxyiplist'] and $config['Misc']['proxyipheader']. // means ignore this line.



In the long run, you will probably need to have mod_cloudflare installed in your primary hosting company's Apache.

Yes now it works fine! Thanks.

This list should be copy paste-able in proxyiplist but it isn't now because the code doesn't take CIDR in to consideration.
