Hello, I have traefik behind cloudfare load balancer and my requests are received in the application with cloudfare IP, just like explained in this document [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170786-Restoring-original-visitor-IPs](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170786-Restoring-original-visitor-IPs)

I couldn't find how to manage to get original IP on my app with traefik, I saw some third party pluggins but they didn't work, does somebody have this resolved who can share how to achieve it?

Thanks in advance  
Cheers

You can usually get the original IP from the HTTP headers.

Check if Cloudflare supports [proxyprotocol](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/routing/entrypoints/#proxyprotocol), that works with Traefik.
