Description
Is used to determine if the last IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header should be used as
the IP address when checking access restrictions. If the X-Forwarded-For header is empty, the connecting IP address will be used.
Examples
If you have all requests going via a reverse proxy last IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header that
Funnelback will see, will be the IP address that made the connection to the reverse proxy. In this
case you would want to use the last IP address in the X-Forwarded-For header.
