100% Transparent Reverse Proxy

[Justin Finkelstein]

Hi Ryan

We use varnish for proxying one of our larger websites and we had a
similar problem with IP addressing when we first installed it. To get
the correct IP address, you need to add the following varnish
configuration:

sub vcl_recv {
    remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;
}

It looks a bit non-sensical but it worked for us!

All the best,

Justin
