Error warning for HTTP headers
-
We are using the default X-REAL-IP setting to resolve IPs, however all of our ‘attack’ emails from Wordfence list the server’s IP as the attacker.
I’ve heard that changing the setting to X-Forwarded-for fixes this problem but I’m getting a warning when I do that. The warning is a bit confusing:
Your ‘How does Wordfence get IPs’ setting is misconfigured. This site is currently using the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header, which should only be used when the site is behind a front-end proxy that outputs this header. This site appears to be behind a front-end proxy
Not really sure what the issue is, here? Can I ignore this warning?
Thanks
