Hi @groovice
I’ve created an FAQ describing what needs to be done to fix this issue. Could you let me know if this was helpful or if anything is unclear? https://matomo.org/faq/wordpress/how-do-i-fix-the-proxy-header-warning-in-the-matomo-for-wordpress-system-report/
Thanks,
Thomas
This is as simple as that. and I waste many days to fix this issue and still can’t figure out.
Your guide works perfectly, I just change the IP header to REMOTE_ADDR to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR and the error message gone. as you mentioned in your guide “If multiple options show your IP address, it’s likely to fine to choose any of them.”

Yesterday I did something to fix this issue by Restoring the visitor’s real IP addresses ( Cloudflare ).
I have retrieved the visitor’s originating IP address in the HTTP header from all Cloudflare’s IP addresses.
I have Added these following lines in my /etc/nginx-rc/main-extra.conf file.
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 2400:cb00::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2606:4700::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2803:f800::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:b500::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2405:8100::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2c0f:f248::/32;
set_real_ip_from 2a06:98c0::/29;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
after that, the location is working properly.
can you please tell me, I have to delete these lines or not? or are they just fine?

Hi @groovice unfortunately I’m not so familiar with nginx so it’s hard to tell for me but if you didn’t need this before, I would remove them again.
thank you, Thomas, for your help. now the location is working perfectly.
but I find an issue with other devices like ( android, IOS ) devices are not detecting. only windows and mac IPs are detecting. is there any fix for this as well?
I find this on your blog: https://imgur.com/i4jdBbI
can you explain to me a little bit? I am using Cloudflare atm.

I haven’t really used Cloudflare before but I’m thinking what needs to be done there is something like this which you find in “Page Rules” in Cloudflare

I can’t promise thought that this fixes the issue.
