That's how Cloudflare works. Traffic goes user --> Cloudflare --> your server, with an X-Forwarded-For header.

The same happens with most load balancers. In Apache, you have to set up mod_rpaf or mod_remoteip. In Nginx, you have to configure ngx_http_realip_module.

Yeah, I get that, but I'm replying to someone who doesn't seem to think the traffic came from Cloudflare.
