Cloudflare Restoring original visitor IPs with mod_remoteip in CWP/Apache
In this tutorial we’ll going to learn how to configure Apache mod_remoteip in order to restore original ip when using cloudflare proxy. We’ve another blog post upon how we can configure mod_cloudflare to restore ip which for some are not at all working. This is the method which is working and recommended in cloudflare website.
So without wasting time lets get started with this simple steps. :
Step 1 :
Enabling mod_remoteip in Apache config :
sed -i '/LoadModule remoteip_module modules/ s/^#//g' /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Step 2 :
Now we’re going to configure cloudflare original ip config :
first of all create a file named “cloudflare.conf” in /usr/local/apache/conf.d
cd /usr/local/apache/conf.d nano cloudflare.conf
then copy paste below config and save it :
#LogFormat "%a %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

*you can remove “#” uncomment from in front of LogFormat for customized log format.
Step 3 :
Restart Apache webserver and done :
systemctl restart httpd
or
service apache restart

Good morning, thank you for answering: I want to tell you, activate the module with the command sudo a2enmod remoteip until there is good and perform all the steps described in the following link from cloudflare LINK but does not solve the visitor’s ip it keeps showing cloudflare ips I don’t know if it does it wrong or if it no longer works what they say on the cloudflare website. i was looking in plesk and there is no app for cloudflare. I know you have knowledge and could help me. I don’t know if you could have a tutorial like the one you show on this page but for Ubuntu 18.04 in advance I appreciate your time and attention
okay will look into it.
You could tell me how to do the same, but on an Ubuntu 18.04 server managed with plesk oxidian since I can’t get the real ip of the visitors
you need to enable mod_remoteip the use the cloudflare config under apache conf folder. Or search for cloudflare app if there is any available in plesk store.
me podrian indicar como hacer lo mismo pero en un servidor ubuntu 18.04 administrado con plesk oxidian
