 Posted: Tue 24 Apr '07 11:56 Post subject: Apache proxy in transperent mode |
 |
|
I have setup the Apache as a proxy on a dedicated machine and would like to access web traffic with it but it keeps showing my dedicated server IP and not my home IP. I lloked in many places but I can not find out how to make it transperent and the conf file did not have this option to forward x header so anyone here knows how it can be done? here is the the conf file
ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2"
Listen 443
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
#LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
#LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
ServerName myserver:80
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#EnableMMAP off
#EnableSendfile off
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 86.97.0.0/16
Allow from 217.164.0.0/16
Allow from 217.165.0.0/16
</Proxy>
Mod note: Never post your whole config again! See the forum rules!

| I can't help you with the proxy stuff but try removing all the commends from your post so it's easier to read and spot possible errors! |

I want the Apache proxy to show the client's IP address instead of the proxy server IP which is called transparent proxing but with this setting I tried browsing with the proxy from my home and sites identify the address as the proxy server and not my IP at home so I need Apache to add X-Forwarded-For request headers (like Squid ) So my IP is shown to the site. |

Apache forwards the Client IP with the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header. I think the Webpage shows only REMOTE_ADDR header which is the proxy.
So the webpage is not cleaver programmed.
To show the client IP makes no sense is a network. Most IP's are like 192.168.*.*
The following code would show the client IP.
| Code: |
<?php
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] != ""){
$IP = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$proxy = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
}else{
$IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
}
if ($proxy=="") { $proxy = "none"; }
echo "<b>";
echo "your ip $IP";
echo "<br>";
echo "your proxy $proxy";
echo "<br>";
echo "your host $host";
echo "</b>";
?>
