Subj : synchronet behind a reverse proxy

Dear all,

This is my first message ever written on ssh to any bulletin board \o/ So excuse my lack of etiquette.

I am trying to host different services on a rpi4, at my place behind the ISP's router. In order to differentiate between different website, I use a router called Traefik and redirects the traffic to synchronet. It all works great when I am alone, and I am planning to try to invite friends.

Then I realised, what if someone pounds at sbbs too hard to hack it ? Fortunately there is some retry mecanism and ban too. The issue is that in the logs, I don't see the final IP, but instead the local IP of Traefik.

Do you have an idea of how to configure this ? With some other service that uses php for example, I had to install mod_remoteip and tune the LogFormat in order to display the original IP.

Best,
martylake
