    Since a couple of days ago, slimstat shows all my hits as coming from a single IP with the real IP shown as ‘originating IP’ (but not tracked or counted in stats). Not good! What has gone wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks

    Hi Luna,

    It seems that you set CDN or some reverse proxy (eg. varnish). In this case all visitors access to your website through same IP address.

    There are some modules for apache/nginx (eg. mod_cloudflare). Also, it’s possible to add custom code into wp-config.php or wp plugin (eg. file into mu-plugins which runs before plugins) which replaces $_SERVER[ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ] with real IP. It requires advanced knowledge and you need to be careful if you want do something like this.

    I hope that helps.

    Luna,
    Add the following to your wp-config.php:

    # Resolve REAL IP issues when behind a Proxy, CDN or Reverse Proxy

if ( !empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'] ) ) { //check ip from share internet
	$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
} elseif ( !empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] ) ) { // to check ip is pass from proxy, also could be used ['HTTP_X_REAL_IP ']
	$ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
} else {
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
 
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $ip; // set ip via complex method because remote_addr could have proxy ip

    Thanks – it turned out this was a server side problem with my host. Eventually they resolved it and all fine again now.
