Get Visitors Actual IP Address with LiteSpeed & Cloudflare

If you are using Cloudflare, your server will log Cloudflare IP address when visitors coming to your website. This problem can be solved by using mod_cloudflare for Apache server.

However, the method won’t work with LiteSpeed. Fortunately, LiteSpeed has a much simpler method to get the actual visitor’s IP address.

Use the following steps in order to obtain actual visitor’s IP address if you are using LiteSpeed & Cloudflare.

  1. Login to LiteSpeed Web Admin Panel
  2. Browse to Configuration → Server  General Settings
  3. Edit “Use Client IP in Header” to “Yes
  4. Save & Start LiteSpeed Gracefully
