Why is the website seeing my IP address when the URL is re-written by EZproxy
Symptom
When I am connecting to a website and my connection is proxied, my IP address and not the EZproxy IP address is being detected.
Applies to
- EZproxy
Resolution
- Search the config.txt file for Option X-Forward-For
- If an Option NoX-Forwarded-For does not come after, delete the Option X-Forward-For from the config.txt
- Restart EZproxy and try again
Additional information
Option NoX-Forwarded-For is the default for EZproxy. This should never be at the start of a Stanza. It should always be preceeded by Option X-Forward-For to enable the option. This is to turn the option off after it has been turned on.
