Of course, a client "X-Forwarded-For" is not reliable, but you may log the header for some reason.

I usually pass a client address in "X-Real-IP" header and the "X-Forwarded-For" header is passed as is.

in the past, I've done this:

Proxy in: strip all x-* headers insert x-forwarded-for / x-real-ip info insert x-internal-passkey , which is just a simple string that is known only to proxy and backend apps. this gives a little more assurance to the backend app that the request came through the expected proxy server Proxy out: strip all x-* headers

would that be difficult to do in nginx ?
