Boru IP and Visitor IP conflict

[gluxon]

There seems to be a problem on Boru where all visitor IP's are the boru server's.

http://gluxon.tk/ip displays the ip of boru instead of the user. I would bet this problem is on the other servers as well.

This is a result of the load balancing set up they are using.

Instead of using the Environmental variable

REMOTE_ADDR

you should use either of

HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
HTTP_X_REAL_IP

in your scripts.

So will this be fixed, or should I just start using the two variables you posted?

 

[descalzo]

I have been told that REMOTE_ADDR is now fixed for PHP scripts.

You're right, thanks
