phpBB and Cloudflare

General
1

Hello!! sorry my English.

This is my website access log to my phpbb forum:

cloudflare
cloudflare1647×736 131 KB

A lot of accesses to the same webpages but with different IPs of cloudflare (and different sid parameter) I don’t know what to do with this!! I have thousands and thousands of unnecessary hits.

Thank you

That’s because your site is behind a Cloudflare proxy and isn’t restoring Visitor IP addresses.

Thanks so much!

For those who have remoteip module the solution is this:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029696071

but if you have CentOS you have to search remoteip.conf on:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/remoteip.conf

and add

RemoteIPHeader CF-Connecting-IP
