You should be able to see the proxy ip if you click the time of the event. As I understand it those IP addresses can be spoofed, so that’s why I don’t show them by default.
I would prefer to see client IP address not reverse proxies IPs.
For Nginx webserver you can use the Module ngx_http_realip_module works especially well if you are behind Cloudflare or other reverse proxy.
So you either put your origin server ip in a custom conf file loaded by or in nginx conf or:
For a Cloudflare type setup
In a custom folder (include) by nginx we would put (after loading the module):
set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 103.31.4.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 104.16.0.0/12;
set_real_ip_from 108.162.192.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 131.0.72.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
set_real_ip_from 162.158.0.0/15;
set_real_ip_from 172.64.0.0/13;
set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 188.114.96.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 190.93.240.0/20;
set_real_ip_from 197.234.240.0/22;
set_real_ip_from 198.41.128.0/17;
set_real_ip_from 199.27.128.0/21;
set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1/32;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
set_real_ip_from 2400:cb00::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2606:4700::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2803:f800::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:b500::/32;

In conf file – include /etc/nginx.custom.d/*.conf;
If that helps.

Thank you for your input.
I am pretty sure this can be achieved by making this feature available by plugin configuration. Many plugins I use has this feature.
I am running my site on a virtual server provider, so I cannot install new modules to my instance.
Correction: NGINX Ships with ngx_http_realip_module by default. On a vps in http directive nginx.conf:
include conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx.custom.d/*.conf;
…and create a file in nginx.custom.d named anything ending in .conf and set the rules.
Sorry for the late post.
