[SOLVED] pmgproxy behind reverse proxy nginx

[Chriswiss]

Hello,

I use a Nginx reverse proxy to reach PMGProxy for the client quarantine.

My Nginx transmits the real IP in the header.

How can I make sure that PMGProxy also logs the real IP and not the reverse IP ?

Thanks.

That is currently not possible, since pmgproxy usually is accepting connections from arbitrary IPs - it's by design not using information provided in the request headers for the request ip.

Why would you need that - i.e. you should have the real IP in nginx' logs anyways?

Thank you for your answer.

I just need it to get a better look and block unauthorized connections.

could you do that from the nginx logs as well? (you do get the pmgproxy response there as well)

Hmm, yes, it is possible. I need to look this way.

Thanks

You're welcome - glad that this could work as a workaround for you
