   Hey coders,

   I’m having some problems with a contact form.

   This is the problem:
   Website is build with Wordpress. We are using a contact form, build with contactform7. When a visitor sends us a message via that form, it shows only a proxy IP, which is our own proxy IP, instead of the one from the visitor.

   Now after searching a lot online, I’ve come to understand that x-forwarded-for can actually show the real IP.

   How to implement this in contactform7/Wordpress, I HAVE NO IDEA :(

   I was hoping to get some support around here.

   Thanks a lot.

   I didn't get your point of proxy IP.
   Here is what you can do for IP - http://vincesamios.com/internetmarketing/adding-visitor-ip-and-current-page-to-contact-form-7-wordpress-plugin
   and I think the latest version do has the provision of using current page.

   it's not sending the real ip, but the one from the proxy of the server,. 192.168.x.x

   i need the real ip, i read that it can be retrieved via the x-forwarded-header

   i checked the link btw

   I guess we can't play with the headers much. I think you should try asking the developer itself.
