How to pass real IP

Marc_Odley 2017-11-14 15:46:12 UTC #1

I need to pass users real IP through varnish to apache for maintenance mode. At the moment the IP is passed as 127.0.0.1

I'm using Magento 2 stack. I have see something like

sub vcl_recv {
remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
set req.http.X-Forwarded-For = client.ip;
}

But after adding I get an error when restarting Varnish. could you help please

Hi,

Could you describe which error appears when restarting Varnish? Could you elaborate more in the reason of this change in the Varnish configuration?

Best regards,

Hi Javier, thanks for your response. When putting Magento into maintenance mode and excluding IP it doesn't work without 127.0.0.1 in the var/maintenance.ip file. However, with that IP in everyone can see the site.

Hello, I hope anyone can help me with this.
I'm having the same problem.
The maintenance mode is enabled but it doesn't work with IP filter.
The IP is stored in the .maintenance.ip file but I'm unable to see the site.

Thank you!
