Install Mod Remote_IP to record the correct visitor address

When using services like Cloudflare, WSC may record the wrong IP for the customer. Let’s rephrase that, WSC is recording the correct IP. The wrong IP is being recorded by your webserver. That’s because services like Cloudflare send their IP in the headers of the traffic and not your IP. Thankfully, you can install mod remote_ip which only takes a few minutes but does require some technical knowledge if you use cPanel. Because this is not a problem with WSC we can’t help you with performing this task. If you have a cPanel, DirectAdmin or Litespeed license you can request support from these companies to complete this. Or, we have provided the relevant information below.

LiteSpeed

If you use LiteSpeed you can log in to the LiteSpeed administration area. Navigate to Server > General > General Settings and tick the “Use Client IP in Header” option. Remember to restart the web server for the new settings to take effect.

cPanel

cPanel has provided detailed instructions on how to enable Mod Remote_IP. See the post located on the cPanel website. Unfortunately, this does require some technical knowledge. Make sure you can complete this or you could end up with a broken server, If in doubt, ask cPanel for assistance.
