VPN and Proxy Considerations

Some security features rely on the client's IP address.

Details

  • Rate limiting and logging use the IP address from the request.
  • If users are behind a VPN or proxy, the IP may not reflect the real client.
  • The X-Forwarded-For header is checked to obtain the original IP when available.

Recommendation

  • If deploying behind a proxy or load balancer, ensure it forwards the X-Forwarded-For header.
