Unable to obtain the real address of the external client

[Etren]

The configuration file sets proxy_mode=True, and nginx also sets a reverse proxy, but the real address of the external client cannot be obtained in the container.

How to get the real address of an external client?

Hello,

you need to add :

real_ip_header    X-Forwarded-For;
real_ip_recursive on;

to the top of your nginx conf. and proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; in headers instead of proxy_set_header Host $host;

If your are behind an HaProxy for example, you need to add set_real_ip_from HaProxy_server_IP; to the top of your nginx file.

@Etren does the above answer help you here? Can this issue be closed?

Thanks for everyone‘s help, the problem has been solved. It may be because the nginx configuration file was not reloaded after updating the configuration file. After restarting the nginx service, the client's real address can be obtained.
