Hi, thanks for the response.
I try it with a short view. Situation 1) Proxy (external, myracloud) <--- Connect official way | LB/Proxy (internal) | w-1 w-2 w-3 .. w10 Situation 2) LB/Proxy (internal) <--- directly connect | w-1 w-2 w-3 .. w10 In both situations I see real client IP addresses in server log on webservers and proxy/loadbalancer. In situation 1 traffic is general limited without exceptions. In situation 2 traffic is limited as expected, all is fine. ====== server.conf===== limit_req_zone $botlimit zone=req_limit_per_login:10m rate=4r/s; ... location ~ ^(/userzentrum/login).*$ { limit_req zone=req_limit_per_login; proxy_pass xxx_application; include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; } ====nginx conf==== geo $limited { default 0; x.x.x.x 1; } map $limited $botlimit { 1 ''; 0 $remote_addr; } ... # get x-real-ip from myracloud set_real_ip_from x.x.x.x; real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP; real_ip_recursive on; Posted at Nginx Forum: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,283352,283396#msg-283396 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
