Hi Aapazmino1986,

If your application is (non-http) you can´t set the x-forwarder-for in the requests, there are two ways to view the original IP:

  1. Configure the F5 self- ip in the servers as the default gateway, and create a couple of VS to forward the TCP and UDP traffic outside using the F5.
  2. Configure N-path to enable asymmetric traffic, but in my opinion, is the worst option.

Hope it works.

Thanks Sebastian, I tried with npath but it did not work. I tried with self-ip in the server like a DG but connection was lost towards the server. :-(
