GeoIP FirstNonPrivateXForwardedForIP (1 reply)

Hi,

My website does country based redirection based on result obtained from GeoIP against IP.

I am facing a problem where GeoIP does not work as first IP in the X-Forwarded-For has Private network address. (Say 192.168.1.1)

I know GeoIP on private network would fail but the X-Forwarded-For also has the public IP along with Private IP.

Eg : 192.168.1.1, 115.97.213.63 - - [Timezone] ......

In some cases where multiple proxies are involved it would show :

192.168.1.1, 115.97.213.63, 115.97.213.12 - -

I want GeoIP should be done on the first non private ip. I could achieve this in apache using GeoIP module directive called "FirstNonPrivateXForwardedForIP"

How to do this in nginx ?

Kindly suggest

Keyur
