Multiple IP's detect after setting up cloudflare and SSL

Post by malcolmd »

Multiple IP's detect after setting up Cloudflare and SSL. This is not happening to everyone, told most of them to delete cache and or restart the computer (new local IP if that makes a difference).
One person was able to get in after a restart but then the issue persisted later on in the day.
Decided to turn on allow duplicate IP's for now but is there a reason this is happening?
Thanks in advance for the response.

Every connection is now passing through Cloudflare's servers so Poker Mavens is only seeing Cloudflare IPs, which will repeat for different users. Fortunately Cloudflare inserts the player's actual IP in the headers and thus you just need to set:

System -> Server Settings -> Proxy IP header = CF-Connecting-IP

Oh sweet! We're having this issue too and had to turn off dupe IP checking so people could get on and play.
