$remote_addr

hello guys,
i'm making a page in php where i want to know the ip of the user connected.

the problem is that this does not return the good ip that my ISP has given me, but it returns the IP of the proxy used by the ISP. this does not allow me to know individual IPs but it returns one IP for all the users connected through my ISP.
what bothers me more is that if i go to other sites that display IPs i get the real IP that i have not the one of the proxy!!!!

is there a special configuration so that the APACHE returns the IP of the user and not the ip of the proxy used by the ISP? or is there another way to know the IP of the user?

Thanks

You will need this must have module -> mod_extract_forwarded so you can extract the actual IP of the user rather than the proxy server's IP.

If you've been looking at mod_rpaf and mod_proxy_add_forward, they are not the same. You'd need them if you are the one running the proxy server.
