Use the Originating IP instead

    My site runs in a docker container (behind proxy) and Slimstat shows always the local ip like this: 172.17.0.8 ( Originating IP: 74.80.208.67)

    Then all analytics say that there is only one visitor (the local ip).

    How Can I make Slimstat use the Originating IP intead?

    I didn’t find such an option and also didn’t find anything about this in interned or in the forum.

    Based on what I see here and here, it appears that some configuration might be required on the Nginx side.

    Regarding the filter that retrieves the IP address in SlimStat and modifies the return value, one potential solution in this scenario could be to switch to using HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR

    add_filter('slimstat_filter_ip_address', function () {
    return sanitize_text_field(wp_unslash($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']));
});

    Hope would be useful!
