No support for reverse-proxy?

  • I added an option in the “General Settings” panel located in the plugin’ settings page to enable support for reverse proxies. Note that the option is disabled by default to avoid conflicts with CloudProxy [1] which is our in-house firewall.

    Also, for people that do not know how a reverse proxy works, it reports the IP address of the server as the “REMOTE_ADDR” and creates a new HTTP header that generally (but not always) is named “X-Forwarded”, every header that has HTTP as its prefix can modified before the request is sent, so a malicious person may use this to hide his original IP address and execute attacks with less fingerprints.

    This is why I did not added support for reverse proxies before, but OP wants to have that so here you go [2].

    Curious…so how does it take into account an Nginx server?
