I use .htaccess to only allow traffic from Cloudflare to my Cloudflare enabled domains. It works, yay. But now my logs are showing the proxied IP. Un-yay. We thought the mod_remoteip mod would help. But it literally changes how centos see’s the ip, and now access to my sites, with this .htaccess…

Mod_remoteip does not just log original IP, it changes how apache interprets the IP entirely
