Flarum Cloudflare IP resolution

onlineth

Hello, I was wondering if an extension could be made (if it isn't already), for Flarum to get the client ip address. A way to do this would be to check if this is set, $SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"] and if it is, use that instead of $SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

onlineth You could add something like the following to the beginning of your index.php and API.php and Admin.php:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"]) ? $SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"] : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

Although, you would want to make sure all users connecting to your site were directed through cloudflare.

Davis Hmm, when I added that line in both the index.php file and api.php file, the ip's didn't showup. When I removed those lines again, the ip showed back up (with cloudflare's ips)

So, I added this,

if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"])) {
  $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER["HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP"];
}

To vender/autoload.php
@Davis Is it ok to add it there (for best practices) or should I add it to the index.php & api.php file instead?

Davis

onlineth that should be fine
