Hi All,

We are running Traefik 2.7.1 on our k8s cluster and we are using Cloudflare Proxy for our website. We enabled following the traefik real-ip plugin in our traefik.

> **[Traefik Real IP](https://pilot.traefik.io/plugins/605afbb0a5f67ab9a1b0e520/traefik-real-ip)**
>
> When traefik is deployed behind a load balancer, it should get the real IP from the X-Forwarded-For or Cf-Connecting-Ip (if from Cloudflare) header.

And the plugin is showing real IP, but after we enabled the cloudflare proxy, we can't see the real-ip of our customers. How can we solve this, any solution for this? Thanks in advance
