3. The problem I’m having:
Basically, I am reverse proxying a Vaultwarden instance (vw.skyline.to). The problem is, it’s behind a Cloudflare proxy and the IP addresses come from Cloudflare. This is a well known and documented problem, but there is a CF-Connecting-IP header passed which does have the users IP address. Unfortunately, I’m not finding a way to send this. In Vaultwarden, if I set the header as CF-Connecting-IP, it says no match (i.e. Caddy is not forwarding it at all). I can use X-Forwarded-To just fine, or add a X-Real-IP header to the Caddyfile (which is the Vaultwarden default). I can find very little on how to tell Caddy to use CF-Connecting-IP as the IP of the visitor. I found this ancient thread from Caddy v1 (Cloudflare: Can Caddy restore the real visitors IP address somehow? (CF-Connecting-IP)), but it appears that this does not work anymore. I used the syntax from Caddy v1, but instead of header_upstream used header_up. It still was using the Cloudflare proxies IP. I’d also like to know if there’s a way to have it apply globally, instead of just to one reverse proxy.
4. Error messages and/or full log output:
There are no error messages
5. What I already tried:
I thought that setting up the Cloudflare DNS extension for Caddy was the solution, but apparently not. Also, research from previous threads. There was something called “realip” in Caddy v1, but all of the docs now return a 404.
