I am using Cloudflare and nginx geoip directives:
geoip_country /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;
geoip_city /usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat;
They are picking the IP up OK (as pipaddress
since the request is marked as forwarded in the header), but is showing the country as SG (the cloudflare proxy location).
Is there anyway if the header HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
is set, to get the coutnry of the end user?
<?php
if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR))
{
$pipaddress = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
$ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
echo "Your IP address is : ".$pipaddress. " (via proxy $ipaddress) " ;
}
else
{
$ipaddress = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
echo "Your IP address is : $ipaddress";
}
$country = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME);
$country_code = getenv(GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE);
echo "<br/>Your country : $country ( $country_code ) ";
?>
And /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
are below:
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
