NimbostratusDifference between "True client ip" and "X-Forwarded for"
I want to understand the difference between "True client ip" and "X-Forwarded for".

CumulonimbusHi,
Before 2014, there was no standard http header to insert proxies client ip.
The most common non standard http header was X-Forwarded-For.
Some other proxy / reverse proxy use true-cient-ip (like Akamai)
RFC 7239 describe new standard but is not well deployed yet.
