 * [https://www.haproxy.com/blog/preserve-source-ip-address-despite-reverse-proxies/ Preserve Source IP Address Despite Reverse Proxies]<blockquote>The main drawback when using a reverse-proxy is that it will hide the user IP: when acting on behalf of the user, it will use its own IP address to get connected on the server. There is a workaround: using a transparent proxy, but this usage can hardly pass through firewalls or other reverse-proxies: the default gateway of the server must be the reverse-proxy. Unfortunately, it is sometimes very useful to know the user IP when the connections comes in to the application server. It can be mandatory for some applications and it can ease troubleshooting.</blockquote>
