    Users IP address is the same as reverse proxy

    by charli55 » Wed Nov 05, 2025 9:36 am

    In my Discourse management panel, the ip address of the proxy server appears instead of the ip addresses of all users. This is my proxy server configuration error. Can you help with this?

    User > CloudFlare > Nginx Proxy Manager > VPS (Discourse)

    I have very little technical knowledge and it would be very helpful if you could explain this to an idiot.

    Thankyou for help. Respect.

    I had the same issue a while back, and what helped was switching my network setup to include rotating proxies. They made a big difference by spreading out requests and avoiding blocks from certain regions. I also double-checked my DNS settings and flushed the cache, but using rotating proxies really solved the access problem for me without needing to keep the VPN on all the time.

    For me, the main benefit is flexibility.I also like having a bit more separation between my usual connection and certain browsing tasks. I wouldn’t say a proxy is necessary for everything, but it can be pretty convenient when you have a specific reason to use one.

    I decided to try a proxy for my NZ project. The setup was quick and easy and I liked having a reliable New Zealand IP for checking regional websites. The connection through new zealand proxy was stable during my sessions. Pages loaded smoothly, which made browsing convenient. I also found it useful for location-based website testing. The controls were simple and easy to understand. It saved me time and made my research more comfortable.
