# phpBB + CleanTalk behind reverse proxy

 * Hi!
 * I’m running (for a customer) a phpBB site that used to be located behind a dedicated
   IP address, but had to be moved to a shared IP address.
 * After moving from dedicated to shared IP, logging into phpBB became impossible.
   When ever trying to log in, the FORM_INVALID error is triggered.
 * There’s a reverse Nginx proxy handling traffic to the shared IP, and a separate
   local Nginx instance handing the traffic coming in through the proxy.
 * I’m using the Nginx Real IP module to replace the internal IP of the proxy server
   by the original IP of the client. In other words, everything the back-end (including
   php-fpm) sees is the original client IP.
 * Do you have any idea how to get around this issue?
