Nginx and aaPanel detects Gateway's IP instead of the client's

HaosKitsune

Hello, so I recently installed aaPanel and it works great and I love it so far however I noticed that aaPanel logs my Gateway's internal IP address as the one logging in/accessing it instead of the client's external IP address, and the IP logging on the website I host also sees all client's connections like they are coming from my router's internal address instead of the client's external address. However everything else (Like SSH logs shows proper IP addresses from the internet / Clients' side) seems to work fine and sees the clients' actual IP address instead of my gateway's internal address.

Is there a way or possible ideas to make aaPanel log the clients' actual IP address and make the webserver see the Client's actual IP address instead of only logging all traffic like it came from my Gateway's Internal address ?

Hello,

You can record the real client IP by modifying the nginx log format

$remote_addr: used with $http_x_forwarded_for to record the client's IP address;
