Realip

1.====================================================================================

    Ensure that the nginx 'ngx_http_realip_module' is installed:
    nginx -V 2>&1 | grep --color -o 'http_realip_module'

    2. Create a new file, for example /etc/nginx/cloudflare.conf, and add the list of Cloudflare IPs to it:

    set_real_ip_from 103.21.244.0/22;
    set_real_ip_from 103.22.200.0/22;
    set_real_ip_from 103.31.4.0/22;
    set_real_ip_from 104.16.0.0/13;
    set_real_ip_from 104.24.0.0/14;
    set_real_ip_from 108.162.192.0/18;
    set_real_ip_from 131.0.72.0/22;
    set_real_ip_from 141.101.64.0/18;
    set_real_ip_from 162.158.0.0/15;
    set_real_ip_from 172.64.0.0/13;
    set_real_ip_from 173.245.48.0/20;
    set_real_ip_from 188.114.96.0/20;
    set_real_ip_from 190.93.240.0/20;
    set_real_ip_from 197.234.240.0/22;
    set_real_ip_from 198.41.128.0/17;
    set_real_ip_from 199.27.128.0/21;
    set_real_ip_from 2400:cb00::/32;
    set_real_ip_from 2606:4700::/32;
    set_real_ip_from 2803:f800::/32;
    set_real_ip_from 2405:b500::/32;
    set_real_ip_from 2405:8100::/32;
    set_real_ip_from 2a06:98c0::/29;
    set_real_ip_from 2c0f:f248::/32;
    
    real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;

    3. Add an 'include' statement to the nginx.conf file:

    Add the following line inside the http block, alongside your existing include directives:   

     include       /etc/nginx/cloudflare.conf; 

    4. Test and reload nginx
