Hi,
Guys we have setupped Reverse Proxy for our server.
And now the thing is we are not able to get the real ip of the user and all the IP in our site are RP server IP.
So I heard that some header needs to be forward , may i know what is that and how to do that?

That all depends what you are using for your rProxy, nginx, haproxy etc?
Looks like either nginx or apache.
nginx as proxy. Apache
If you have X-Forwarded-For (XFF) you'll be able to grab that from your Apache-based site.
mod_rpaf can let you use that IP as the client's IP if you don't want to mess with XFF.
Thanks for the suggestion , the person i hired is crap and totally messed my server. And so i move to staminus and go with GRE and now I am safe.
