Help with TCP Proxy

[khadgar]

Hey,
I hope you guys can help me.
So I am trying to set up a TCP Proxy on my hotel. It is all set up and working. I have kept the EMU config to the VPS IP and Port and changed client.php to the proxy IP and port. The client loads fine.

Here is the problem: When a player connects on the hotel, it shows their IP as the Proxy IP. This is obviously a problem for two reasons;
1) It means that my usual restriction of 5 connections per IP is not possible, due to the EMU logging each players IP as the proxy IP.
2) I am unable to IP ban anyone, as it bans the proxy IP.. meaning noone can log in.

I am scratching my head here trying to figure out where I am going wrong. I hope you fantastic people can help!

Thanks,
Steve

Are you using a HTTP Proxy aswell?

 

[khadgar]

Yeah, I've got Cloudflare activated. I also have Arbor DDOS protection on the server.

go into global.php and change

$_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']

to

$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']

then try, if not goto class.users.php do it there.

 

[khadgar]

Brilliant! Thanks dude, I will try that.
 
Heyy,
Thanks for your previous help! Unfortunately I am having the same problem.
I am guessing the line in global.php you were refering to was

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'])) { $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; }

And I have changed it to

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) { $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']; }

Let me know if I have done that wrong. That code is not in class.users.php.

Make sure maxconperip in your emu config is higher than 500 .

 

[khadgar]

This worked perfectly! Many thanks for your help.

Okay... So I thought this fixed the problem, but it hasn't.
I changed the 'maxconperip' in the EMU config to 550, but it is still only letting max of 2 people on at a time. When we turn the proxy off, people can connect no problem!
Help!

Thanks,
Steve

Send configure.ini

Yeah, I've got Cloudflare activated. I also have Arbor DDOS protection on the server.

If your server is DDoS protected, bind your website to the domain, and don't use a proxy....
