1. Update functions.php with the following code:

// Use the real IP address for customers when creating an order
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'set_real_customer_ip', 10, 2);

function set_real_customer_ip($order_id, $data) {
    // Check if Cloudflare provides the real IP address in the HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP header
    if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) {
        $real_ip = sanitize_text_field($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']);
    } elseif (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {
        // Fallback to another common proxy header
        $real_ip = sanitize_text_field($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
    } else {
        // If neither header is set, use the default REMOTE_ADDR
        $real_ip = sanitize_text_field($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    }

    // Save the real IP address in the order meta under the '_customer_ip_address' key
    update_post_meta($order_id, '_customer_ip_address', $real_ip);
}

1. Hook woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta:
? This action runs whenever a new WooCommerce order is created during the checkout process.

2. Retrieve the Real IP Address:
? First, it checks if Cloudflare’s HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP header is available and uses it.
? If not, it falls back to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, which is used by other proxies.
? If neither header is present, it defaults to REMOTE_ADDR (the server-reported IP address).

3. Save the Real IP Address:
? The real IP address is stored as order metadata under the key _customer_ip_address.
