Notes and Warnings

  • Header Name: Default is X-Forwarded-For. Can be customized (e.g., X-Real-IP)
  • IP Order: FIRST gets original client IP, LAST gets last proxy IP
  • Use Cases:
    • Forward client IP for logging/analytics
    • Forward client IP for rate limiting
    • Forward client IP for geolocation
  • Chain: X-Forwarded-For contains comma-separated IP chain
  • Deploy: When deploy=true, the API proxy is automatically deployed to the specified environments after saving
