CloudFlare and logging IP addresses

[hennesseystealth]

We use Cloudflare and we had additional directives in Plesk to allow us to see the actual IP addresses of visitors. With cPanel we only see the Cloudflare IP addresses in the logs. I know you can add a module to Apache, but that requires a rebuild of Apache and we are just too chicken to try that.

We also see that you can add an nginx plug in. Any suggestions on doing that? Which plug ins might be best for use to add what you see in the attached image?

The Nginx plugin should have that enabled by default .. otherwise it is only doing half the job

Hello @hennesseystealth,

You'd only customize Nginx if you've actually installed it on your system as part of third-party Nginx plugin. If you're not using Nginx, then you can follow the instructions that CloudFlare provides at:

Cloudflare-CPanel/README.md at master · cloudflare/Cloudflare-CPanel · GitHub

Thank you.

Yes, we haven't yet installed the nginx plug in. My questions was does anyone have any suggestions on which one is best for our application.

You can search "nginx" on the forums here to see posts from other users referencing specific third-party plugins, but keep in mind these applications are unsupported.

Thank you.
