mod_reverseproxy

mod_reverseproxy - reverse proxy module for Apache

Based on mod_remoteip.c and mod_cloudflare.c , this Apache module will replace the remote_ip variable in user's logs with the correct remote IP sent from frontend web server like nginx and varnish.

To install, follow the instructions on:

wget https://raw.github.com/Prajithp/mod_reverseproxy/master/mod_reverseproxy.c
apxs -i -c -n mod_reverseproxy.so mod_reverseproxy.c

Configuration Directives

ReverseProxyEnable           (On|Off)          - Enable reverse proxy

ReverseProxyRemoteIPHeader   X-Real-IP         - The header to use for the real IP
                                                 address.
ReverseProxyRemoteIPTrusted  127.0.0.1         -  What IPs to adjust requests for

Example Configuration

LoadModule reverseproxy_module modules/mod_reverseproxy.so

<IfModule reverseproxy_module>
  ReverseProxyEnable  On
  ReverseProxyRemoteIPHeader X-Real-IP
  ReverseProxyRemoteIPTrusted 127.0.0.1
  ReverseProxyRemoteIPTrusted 46.105.160.192

NOTES:

  • If mod_cloudflare or mod_remoteip are already loaded on the same web server, the web server will crash because both modules try to set the remote IP to a different value.
