# Client IP Headers
|
||||
|
||||
Currently Anubis will always flatten the `X-Forwarded-For` when it contains multiple IP addresses. From right to left, the first IP address that is not in one of the following categories will be set as `X-Forwarded-For` in the request passed to the upstream.
|
||||
|
||||
- Private (`XFF_STRIP_PRIVATE`, enabled by default)
|
||||
- CGNAT (always stripped)
|
||||
- Link-local Unicast (always stripped)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Incoming: X-Forwarded-For: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8, 10.0.0.1
|
||||
Upstream: X-Forwarded-For: 5.6.7.8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This behavior will cause problems if the proxy in front of Anubis is from a public IP, such as Cloudflare, because Anubis will use the Cloudflare IP instead of your client's real IP. You will likely see all requests from your browser being blocked and/or an infinite challenge loop.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Incoming: X-Forwarded-For: REAL_CLIENT_IP, CF_IP
|
||||
Upstream: X-Forwarded-For: CF_IP
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As a workaround, you should configure your web server to parse an alternative source (such as `CF-Connecting-IP`), or pre-process the incoming `X-Forwarded-For` with your web server to ensure it only contains the real client IP address, then pass it to Anubis as `X-Forwarded-For`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `X-Real-IP` header will be automatically inferred from `X-Forwarded-For` if not set, setting it explicitly is not necessary as long as `X-Forwarded-For` contains only the real client IP. However setting it explicitly can eliminate spoofed values if your web server doesn't set this.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Cloudflare](environments/cloudflare.mdx) for an example configuration.

# Cloudflare
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using Cloudflare, you should configure your server to use `CF-Connecting-IP` as the source of the real client IP, and pass that address to Anubis as `X-Forwarded-For`. Read [Client IP Headers](../caveats-xff.mdx) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Example configuration with Caddy:
|
||||
|
||||
```Caddyfile
|
||||
{
|
||||
servers {
|
||||
# Cloudflare IP ranges from https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/ips/
|
||||
trusted_proxies static 173.245.48.0/20 103.21.244.0/22 103.22.200.0/22 103.31.4.0/22 141.101.64.0/18 108.162.192.0/18 190.93.240.0/20 188.114.96.0/20 197.234.240.0/22 198.41.128.0/17 162.158.0.0/15 104.16.0.0/13 104.24.0.0/14 172.64.0.0/13 131.0.72.0/22 2400:cb00::/32 2606:4700::/32 2803:f800::/32 2405:b500::/32 2405:8100::/32 2a06:98c0::/29 2c0f:f248::/32
