I've recently configured a reverse http/https proxy in front of my SBBS. My setup is working well; however, SBBS is currently logging all web traffic (IP addresses) as coming from the reverse proxy vs. the Internet-based clients.

Is there a way to cause SBBS to "trust" the proxy address and read the standard X-Forwarded-For headers provided by the proxy to log external client IPs?

I had looked in the docs/wiki and was unable to find anything relevant.

Thanks in advance,

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using? I'm setting up nginx now, mostly because I want my Letsencrypt-enabled systems to auto-update without having to repoint my NAT rules at renewal time, and I know nginx.

Same (nginx on the backend).
