What is True-Client-IP?
If True-Client-IP is enabled, Cloudflare will add a True-Client-IP header in the request sent to the origin
with the IP address of the end user.
Connections from Cloudflare to origin servers come from Cloudflare IPs. True-Client-IP is a solution that
allows Cloudflare users to see the end user’s IP address, even when the traffic to the origin is sent directly
from Cloudflare.
This feature supplements our current CF-Connecting-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers.
*If you're interested in the actual client (visitor) IP address, we recommend relying on the CF-Connecting-IP
(or True-Client-IP) instead of X-Forwarded-For.
How do I turn on True-Client-IP?
True-Client-IP is available in the Network app of the Cloudflare dashboard.
Who is True-Client-IP available for?
True-Client-IP is available for all Enterprise customers. To upgrade to Enterprise, contact the Cloudflare team.
