Hi René,

 

Thank you for the update. I will update this code with your suggestion, but including new variables :

 

 Include source port in "For" parameter (If "For" parameter is inserted)
set INSERT_FORWARDED_FOR_PORT 1
 Include source port in "By" parameter (If "By" parameter is inserted)
set INSERT_FORWARDED_BY_PORT 0

then replacing line 33 with :

 

lappend FFOR_HEADER_LIST "for=$CLIENT_ADDR[ expr {$INSERT_FORWARDED_FOR_PORT ? ":[TCP::remote_port]" : ""}]"

and line 78 with :

 

set FBY_HEADER "by=$BY_ADDR[ expr {$INSERT_FORWARDED_BY_PORT ? ":[TCP::local_port]" : ""}]"

And I will also add priority option.
