Restoring visitors IP with mod_remoteip

Using EasyApache, install Apache Mod_RemoteIP ( ea-apache24-mod_remoteip ).

Edit the conf file : nano /etc/apache2/conf.modules.d/370_mod_remoteip.conf

Once that has been done, you’ll need to go to WHM :
Home » Service Configuration » Apache Configuration » Global Configuration

And modify both of the LogFormat (combined, and common) by replace the “h” with an “a”.

%h %l %u %t \”%r\” %>s %b \”%{Referer}i\” \”%{User-Agent}i\”

This format captures the header with the %h field which is the proxy address in our example. Because we want the originating client IP address instead of the remote IP being logged, we replace this with an %a.

“%a %l %u %t \”%r\” %>s %O \”%{Referer}i\ \”%{User-Agent}i\”

Save and restart Apache and that should handle this.
