Can I create a new proxy?

How do I create Linux reverse proxy that shows user IP address?

  • I'm planning to use reverse proxy for my Minecraft game server, but most of the methods would mask players' ip addresses as the proxy address. I heard that to be able to show players ip addresses it can be done via iptables.

  • Answer:

    Iptables usually can't retrieve a client address (because the connection is being made by the proxy IP), most proxies will, however, allow the use of X-Forwarded-For headers that complete with the client IP in the header of the request.
