 * Recently I start to use Cloudflare services. After I changed my nameservers to
   Cloudflare, however, I found that all the IP displayed in “WP Activity Log” became
   the IP from “Cloudflare, Inc.”, rather than the original user IP. Is there any
   method to get the original user IP address? Thanks.

 * Hello [@luminaso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luminaso/)
 * Thank you for using our plugin. In your case all you have to do is to [enable firewall support](https://wpactivitylog.com/support/kb/support-reverse-proxies-web-application-firewalls/)
   in the plugin settings, and the plugin will report the correct IP address.
 * Can you please enable the setting and advise?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.
