Anonymous IP during registration (displays that of the server)

Post by cgauthey »

Good morning,
I am facing a problem, since a change of server, the people who register on one of my clients' forums, the IP during registration and that of the server and not the one linked to the IP of the user I don't understand why this behavior should display the user's IP instead of that of the server, right?

Could you help me solve it?

Go to the index page and click the heading "Who is Online" at the bottom. Check the IP's of registered users and guests.

If it's displaying the server IP there is probably a proxy service.

Are the IP's for registered users and guests listed under "Who is online" the severs IP's?
