TITLE
Plesk cannot get real IP headers in Logs from Cloudflare Domains
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.26 , Ubuntu 18.04 Server.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Plesk Obsidian does not show real IP of visitors from a Cloudflare domain. The log files only show the Cloudflare reverse-proxy IPs.
Even after adding the Nginx directive
The plesk is running in default configuration Visitor>Nginx>Apache
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Added Wordpress installation on fresh installation and added cloudflare to the domain by pointing A records to plesk server
Fresh Plesk installation, no major changes performed.
ACTUAL RESULT
It must be the real IP of visitor but instead it shows Cloudflare IP.
Plesk server is not receiving real IP headers or not configured properly. Missing Nginx module perhaps?
EXPECTED RESULT
The Plesk must receive real IP forwarded headers from Cloudflare servers. And it must show in Website logs.
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems the Nginx module is not configured or installed in the latest Plesk.
I have other Plesk servers running which receives Real IP headers just fine and log files are normal.
