Can't get the real client IP to my web-servers.

[ashish235]

I 've the below config.

server {
listen 8080;
location / {
proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
set_real_ip_from 172.16.131.253;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
real_ip_recursive on;

But it's not working and I 'm still getting the IP of my host reaching the webservers. I think the http_realip_module module is not built in.

Can you compile the nginx from source with some common modules like http_realip_module, http_geoip_module, http_ssl_module etc? It would be of great help.

Can anyone help here?
