Sending original IP through a header

By default, all reports about IP addresses send Azion’s Edge Nodes IP as a response. The request route follows the pattern:

IP(user) → Azion Edge Node → Origin Server

The original IP address is also sent through a X-Forwarded-For header, along with other IPs in the request route.

To receive the original IP, you must send the IP through a new header, adding a Behavior in the Default Rule in Rules Engine. Follow these steps:

  1. Log into Real-Time Manager
  2. In the Products Menu, select Edge Application
  3. Select your Edge Application
  4. Click Rules Engine > Default Rule
  5. In the Behavior section, click +
  6. In the And field, select Add Request Header

  7. In the next field, add the following string:

    X-Client-IP:${remote_addr}

  8. Click Save.

After completing the alteration in Rules Engine, you will find a new component in your report, X-Client-IP. Next to it, you can see the original IP from the request.
