Hi Joe,

 

So we're having to use this in IIS 10 on Server 2016.

Our security team doesn't like the XFF and C-IP being separate, so I've been tasked with finding a way to merge the two, this looks like the answer.

However, on a test server, I'm not sure how to test this out and make sure it works.

I do have a custom log for the XFF field setup, not sure if that's messing with the module.

 

The server I'm working on is not behind the F5 and I can only connect to the host internally, though I'm using Fiddler to setup a proxy.

I'm not sure if the module is working or not.

 

Could you assist?
