What is the issue you’re encountering

Hello! We are experiencing an issue with our Cloudflare settings. We operate a license verification system on our website, and some users are abusing the licenses by making illegal requests to our database. We manually block these users’ IP addresses by adding them to a blocklist. The problem is that Cloudflare is issuing its IP addresses to users, and these IPs overlap with the IPs of users who are legitimately using our licenses. As a result, legitimate users are encountering a 403 error and are unable to complete license verification. How can we configure Cloudflare to ensure that we see the real IP addresses of the users instead of the proxied IPs from Cloudflare? This is crucial for us to accurately add only the illegal users to our blocklist. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
